I have a few leather and vinyl damage on some of my cars and one major discoloration on my LS430 drivers door arm rest. I have been researching options and found this web site. I have not tried them yet but it sounds pretty good from the web site.

You should try VHT dye from Caswells. Im going to do it on my old m3 interior this weekend. Ive seen before and after pictures it comes out amazing. You just have to make sure you get the right color.

Leatherique is always an option as well. I think they have color matching dye for factory colors.

You can get it fixed by using one of the mobile plastics and leather interior repair guys that regularly visit used car lots in your town. Call your local Toyota used car dealer and ask them when the local interior repair and touch-up guy works their lot. These repair guys work pretty cheap and generally do good work. They go from lot to lot repairing tears, cuts, scuffs, burns, etc. on used car trade ins that then get sold as "perfect" to used car buyers : )

They can fix stains also - they sand the area, smooth it out, and will mix custom color and use airbrush spray to re-dye it and feather in the area to match.

I agree with Jabberwock. Much easier and better match than trying to do it yourself. Just my experience.
