Default Drivers Side Door Panel ruined handle help

My wife has a 15 RX 350 and the door handle, that's part of the interior drivers side door panel, has been ruined by my wife's prosthetic arm. The hook at the end of her prosthetic has gouged the fabric pretty bad. I wondering a couple of things.

1. Can I replace just the part of the door panel that contains the handle, it looks like it may come apart?
2. If I need to replace the entire door panel, is the panel the same for all 2010-2015 models?
3. Is it the same for the 350 and the 450?
4. Where do you think I should try to find the replacement parts? This seems like a descent deal?

Thanks all for your help!

Not sure if it separates, but it looks like it is sold as one unit. It looks like it's about $900 new.

I guess the most pertinent question I need answered is

If I need to replace the entire door panel, is the panel the same for all 2010-2015 models?
Is it the same for the 350 and the 450?

I suspect the door panels are all the same. I do not think the 2013 slight refresh affected door panels or that the hybrid is any different. You could compare part numbers for the various years.

The folks at rancholexusrecycling will know the answer. There are reference books used in the auto recycling industry called the Hollander manuals that cross reference what fits what between different models.

Mine was absolute ***** when I bought mine. My dogs and wife's hair would get stuck on it and we'd both leave hand prints. Got to the point parts were starting to be as soft and shape able like playdo.
