I have old shots of the interior before the break-in last year. So I have a just a hole in my console right now.
I just have the rare cloth seats in decent shape and the carpet is in decent shape. I also have a GS/SC430 steering wheel
Other than that, my interior has the usual problems that is shared by many on here. cracked interior door panel and crapped out cluster.

Just a little update, I went down to the shop with a fellow member, SCBoy, so that he can get an estimate on his car and for me to check up on my car. Work has started so the dent has been popped out. I am assuming that it is going to get blocked soon 
This is like the longest 3 weeks of my life

Personally, I don't want to throw out a number since all cars are different and even different colors affect the price. There are many variables such as color, amount of dings and/or damage, and if you are install a kit or not. If its an aftermarket kit, its a little more due to the extra prep-work/fitment issues .
But I can tell you that the prices are very reasonable since I did shop around for a shop for almost a year and I settled with this one. Most importantly, the work has been verified by another member to be good.
Sure, I can probably find someone to paint the car for $1500 but 99% its going to look like ***. Its funny since I there were couple guys who spotted my damage in shopping mall parking lots and streets and solicited me. Some offers twere as as low as $1000 for repaint and quarter panel repair at their shop somewhere
Another even offered to fix the dent pdr style and "re-clearcoat" the car over its original paint
Here is the shop's address
Utu Autobody Repair
3500 Westminster Ave Ste F
Santa Ana, CA 92703
If you plan to stop by, tell him that Jerry from the Clublexus forum with a red SC inside his shop referred you. The owner is a middle aged Vietnamese man so if his son isn't there, bring along a Vietnamese friend. It helps if you can speak fluent Viet
