Smile Torned Leather Panels...Replacements?

I loaned my son my SC400 for his last few months in college. He used the car to assistant in his move and snagged several of my tan leather panels!

A panel in the upper door (drivers)...panel rear upper and lower. Does anyone know of where to get replacements or pricing on these?

It seems silly to completely replace the panels b/c of a few snags. Will anyone rewrap them good?

Any suggestions welcomed.

Definitely take it to an upholstry shop and have them re-wrap in good quality leather. Forget the OEM vinyl, it stinks!

If I have them rewrapped, then my concern is shading. Can the factory tan be perfectly matched? Lexus has a history of weird color shadings (almost always have to go OEM or replace all).

All upholstery shops have a huge bin of colors to choose from. I am 100% certain that you will find the OEM shade that you want. If not, maybe you will find a different color to redo your entire interior in.

It will be much cheaper to replace the pannels than redo the whole interior .... go check in the member classifieds of this site to find someone who is parting out a sc with tan interior .... or is the damage really extensive ? post some pics
