Anyone know the part # for this ? Radio bottom edge broken

I just searched everywhere and it looks like you would have to replace the entire thing. Part number I found was 86130-53J80. That’s so random how that happened. Hopefully I’m wrong and you can replace just that piece?

that bottom cover is removable , it is 1 bar all the way to the right **** , i believe they sell it separate but not 100% sure tho , ill check dealership . For 2 hours now im still thinking why did it break ? How did this happen , i wiped that small gap between the radio and the leather pad part there and i done this for years. What pisses me off is that something happened and i dont know how did it happen. Im not luck with Lexus perhaps they used cheapass materials, ya Thats 50k $ Lexus IS350 Fsport

I'm pretty sure the faceplate comes with the radio and not sold separately.
Time to hit the scrap yard...but that will be a tough find.

Just glue it on. I checked eBay and there's a couple for $800. seems like a lot just to fix a cheap piece of plastic you might want the 2014 model though so it matches your hvac controls. i think the 2014 has that black plasticky cheap look where they changed it to the less cheap (still cheap) matte dark gray plastic look in later years.
seriously if it were me, i'd just glue it on best i could. how did that happen anyway?

how did it happened ? to be honest i don't know how and why it broken, while cleaning my Car's interior and cleaned that part of Radio Unit that piece fell on my feet, i was surprised, i remember when i 1st bought the car, and cleaned this part here i've seen the internal cracked line it did not come off so i thought probably the previous owner nails scratch or some kind of chemical, im really not So Sure.
According to Chris on this forum he's Lexus a employee in my Area, he checked my VIN and said the previous owner had a problem with the Radio Unit before on the complaint list. My Guess, probably some Lexus Dealership somehow accidentally made it internal cracked (Like i said i remember the cracked Line and normal eye cant see because its INSIDE) but it did not fell apart until now, i spent hour to look and test on other side i tried to Pull and Bend and did a hard press on other side to see if the plastic is Cheap and it did not break when i test with same pressure while i was cleaning i pulled other side hard and did not break apart, this is what i can imagine.
in other word, a Luxury car should not be THIS FRAGILE, clean and break its ridiculous, i always talk about Lexus in my Company, my Boss probably laugh whenever i ride him again "they called me Mr Lexus, no more ! i don't mind Mechanic or suspension break down because its normal, in my case this is abnormal .
Thanks for your input guys ! keep in mind if you see any broken or cheap one shoot me a PM

I found it for a little cheaper than the ebay route.

i would pay couple hundred dollars if Dealership replace the faceplate bro, really i don't wanna waste the working radio into the garbage bin. Do you think dealer will do it ?
