Go to your dealer, they have those mobile detailers that fixes minor interior and exterior scratches. When they fixed my outside temp display they scatched up the center console so my dealer offered to fix them.
At the same time I told them to fix the side plastic panels on the 3rd row with some deep scratches caused by my dad loading up my grandpa's wheel chair

It came out pretty good. Visually you can't tell the difference but the texture will be a little rough from the spray paint. I don't know if they can fix the cup holder cover since it is glossy.

Regards,
Charleston

Rx900, we've got a detailing forum moderated by a professional detailer (Dan) for questions like this.

I'm moving your post there...

Oh, and yes the dealer will most likely charge you if you take it to them. It isn't a warranty item.

I would find out how much for the cup holder cover from lexus parts dept. then ask them how much for the detailers to fix it. Then you can justify the cost for the repairs. I might even talk to the detailers directly to see if they will work out a deal with out going through lexus.
