First time post. Hello to all. The ES350 has been a great car for us so far! My wife has had her 2008 ES350 for a couple of years and the finish on the steering wheel button have been rubbed away. I have seen where Lexus fixed this for newer models. My question is can I fix this or replace these button rather easily? Any links here on the forum and costs would be appriciated.

On another topic, my wife decided to test the parking sensors and plow into a snow bank. Yes, there is damage to the bumper. I will save that for another post.

Thanks for the help.

thank you nevernu! I have read the posts. I too have a vehicle far out of warranty. Is the concensus then that if you are out of warranty you just live with it? I can rub the sticky stuff off but it still looks junky. Anyone get creative, maybe with a black sharpie or something? Anyone have any luck with their local dealer replacing the buttons out of warranty with 90,000 miles on their cars?
