Fake wood trim panel (driver side) - place to purchase?

Anyone know where I can buy the fake wood trip panel for the driver side door? It started to warp recently which I solved with double sided tape. But that only lasted so long and in the dark one morning I clippled it with my elbow, snapping off a piece and puttiing a couple smaller cracks in it as well.

Only things I've had wear down on this car (that I wish I had easy replacements for) are this, the steering wheel/air bag area thats worn down around the control buttons and the shift ****.

Overall I am now on 5 years and 2 months of owning this car and I love it as much as the day I first picked it up. Currently have 75,800 miles on it. For the last three years I had a 60 mile round trip commute every day - took a new job that bumped that down to 7 miles roundtrip every day

Trim pieces come and go on Ebay.

Same thing happened to me about a year ago. . .dealer replaced strips on both doors for free & about a week later I got a letter from Infiniti saying that this was a defect & strips would be replaced. Dealer also replaced something on the steering wheel.

Find someone to dip your trim pieces. I've had work done by liquid print here locally.

If there is a junk yard that have the car you might be able to get it for a good deal

I'm going to give the dealer a ring and see what the story is - I've not had great luck with my two local dealers unfortunately but if it has the word "free" in it its definitely worth a shot.

dcmidnight. If you still have the extended bumper to bumper warranty they will cover the cosmetic issues if your dealership is nice about it. I know it is covered on the signature bumper to bumper coverage 4yrs/60k mileage.

Alright so I last posted a year ago and life got in the way - never really got around to replacing the wood panels. In the 12 months since, the left rear wood has warped though not come off and the drivers side wood has chipped off in two places.

Does anyone have experience with this company:

http://www.wooddash.com/category/INFINITI_Dash_Kits_G35

Not sure if thats a reasonable price or not or how hard that job would be. I'm guessing I'll have a hard time matching it exactly so its probably easiest for me to replace the whole thing.

My hope is to replace this car in the next 12 months or so with the FX37 but I'd like to get something like this cleaned up before I trade it in.
