Default front drink holder cover

Does anyone know where I can get a new OEM drink holder cover? The one in the front center console that you push and it lifts up. I have the cabernet interior with the aluminum trim. I have a deep scratch in it and it is bugging me. I looked on Sewell website but the only sell the whole assembly with the seat heater buttons and everything. Any help would be great, thanks

I believe that that the LRU, the line or lowest replaceable unit, for that part includes the switches as you noted.

I had the dealer replace mine due to dents and they had to replace the whole assembly.

Dents you made? Still replaced under warranty? I got dents on the aluminum trim on the insides of both doors.

I noticed a dent in the cupholder cover and in the trim above the glove box a few months after buying the car. I don't commute and usually drive alone, so I have no idea how they happened. Lexus said they had never seen these types of dents and replaced them for free. However, I deal with Sewell and I have either puchased or leased 5 Infinitis from them in 7 years, so they know I'm a loyal customer who doesn't ask for much.

I also developed dents in the driver's side trim, which I'm sure is from the seatbelt or my watch, but since I don't see them when I'm driving I don't really care. I did ask about replacement and was told the entire door panel would have to be replaced to the tune of $420. Not worth it.

I was honestly surprised Lexus didn't change the aluminum trim in the '14 model because although it is cool it is easily dented. I guess my issues were rare. After another 1 1/2 years of ownership, I've had no dents in the other areas since they were replaced.
