Default Driver Side Door Panel Pocket

Hey guys, okay so this is REALLY bothering me. When i bought my car about 6 months ago, the idiot before me obviously drilled 4 screws into the drivers side door pocket, which pops out, for water bottles etc. Anyway, my interior door panel is black..and i am just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere i could find just the pop out pocket, or if i have to get a whole new door panel. Also, i would love it if someone on here who had an extra one for some odd reason, or is about to sell/trade in their car, and would swap for mine. It doesnt look horrible bad because the screws are small and black, but bothers me because i notice it everyday! Thanks guys.

You can NOT replace just the pop out part.

When I bought my 2010 there were scuff marks on that part (from people on test drives)

I made them promise (in writing) to have that piece replaced with a new, unscuffed one.

They found out later that they could not just replace the pop-out part, and had to replace my whole door panel.

Just don't go through dealership. Try http://is.sewellparts.com/index.php for stock replacement parts. You can always find them from salvage yards or stuff like that. Salvage yards are pretty hard to find stuff for, because of vultures lol.

Go to a good uphostery shop. They will fill the holes with vinyl filler and match the grain. You'll never know the holes were there.
