Default Door Panel Question..??

Alright, so i bought my car used about 5 months ago, and the idiot before drilled screws into the door panel pop out for some reason?! So question is, how or where could i find the pocket without buying a whole new door panel? If thats not available, then im going to say screw it! It is my driver side door. Also, my car doesnt have HID's, and i really want them, i just dont know exactly which type you all would prefer, that would look the most like OEM. Thanks alot for all responses in advance.

There is a lot of good information in the lighting forum. I suggest you educate yourself about HIDs. You will probably get a lot of different "opinions". Read this http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html#hid

What a jack ***! I had a guy I worked with who drilled drywall screws into his passenger side dash IN THE IMPRINT FOR THE AIR BAG! I flipped! He said there was a squeak coming from that area and it fixed it. can you say shrapnel. Some people

There are many fools out there, the same types that claim sudden untintended acceleration I think. I have no idea why anyone would drill holes in the flip out door panel. This piece probably won't be cheap. Start with the Lexus dealer, if that doesn't work maybe you can find a wrecked IS. But I think you'll be stuck with what you have.

Well thanks for the replies guys. Actually the flip out panel still does work fine, I just don't understand why in the hell anyone would ever do such a stupid thing?!

is it on both sides or just the driver? it looks disgusting. my bet would be to possibly check the junkyards. ive seen some badly treated isx50's at the junkyard i frequent, and the entire doors are still intact so there mite be the actual panel available too. something's bound to come up. best of luck!
