Default Best Aftermarket Dash/Door Kit (Not Factory Recall/Replacement)?

Have attempted to search here - however don't seem to be finding info. on aftermarket/non-Lexus dash cover and/or complete dash/door kits?

Bought 2006 Lexus IS350 that doesn't qualify for the factory recall replacement. Being a long term "car guy" (road racing, vintage stuff, etc.), the interior is driving me a bit crazy even though this car is evidently not bad at all. Rest of the car - wheels, coil overs, etc. has been done.

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

word on the street is that the dash is less than $400 new from dealership. The swap should be easy if you at handy with cars.

The panels on the other hand are ridiculously priced at $700 each.

$700 X 4 = a bit much for this car. Anyone here recover the door panels (or dash for that matter)?

I've not seen any done besides stripping them for race car duties.

If it was my car, I would get a new dash from Lexus and then find myself some used door panels from a newer car (2010+).

Thanks Jeff. Assuming that the 2010+ panels don't have the same issues as the previous years?

Appreciate the help!

The recall/extended warranty did not include the newer years and I am not aware of many people with the newer cars that have issues like the 06-08's did.
