Hi, yes you can buy this item on its own, it's apparently just a PITA to replace - lots of prying and prodding.

I had a guy come out who services local Lexus dealers and he repainted the scratches on mine without taking it out of the dash, and now you can't even tell it's been painted. Cost me $100.

What kind of service/paint/process did he use? I'd love to find something like this where I live.

I'm not sure. Paint match is perfect though. You should ask your dealer about who they use.

Same thing here, When I was looking at mine, there was scraches on the bottom of the nav trim. The dealer had it painted before I looked at it the 2nd time. No one (even myself) could tell that it was painted.
