I looked into changing mine. Just call your dealer.

I remember it being something along the lines of almost $200 each list? I don' t remember, I threw away the quote sheet haha.

Just call the dealer with that number and they will let you know.

That is the same piece I need too. It's the only thing part of my interior that I need to get fixed. The old lady that I got my car from would always drag her feet when she got into the car and she tore that piece all up.

Let us know what you find out.

The cost of replacement parts are outrageou$.
I was checking on the website and GS crowd is using SEM products.
SEM makes a vinyl filler and sell 20 different vinyl colors in spray cans.
So I will be checking into the possibility of repairing the piece first.
The plastic is ABS so I could have it welded at the motorcycle shop.
Vinyl covered plastic; what a pain.

Default Repair seat garnish

I went to a local Auto Paint Supplier who sells SEM Products. We color matched the garnish. The closest color is Sandstone #15143 in a spray can. I paid $10 for one can. I took in a brown plastic piece, but SEM did not have a matching color in a spray can. The Paint Guy said that he could match any interior color, but then I would have to shoot the color. This SEM product can also be used to paint match the carpet.
After completing the job, I have some tips.
If you have torn vinyl, glue it down. The paint will get under the vinyl and pucker it. If you have missing vinyl, fill in the hole with paintable chaulk.
I used ABS cement from Lowe's to fill cracks on the ABS backside. If you have access to flat ABS panels, use it to reinforce the cracks.
I am pleased with the results.

Default seat garnish

I also used a Bond Aid prep spray. It is used for plastic bumpers. I bought it several years ago at WalMart.
