1997 SR5 Gold Wood grain paneling faded/bleached

It looks like the cleaner that someone used on my 4Runner before I got it has faded/bleached parts of my wood grain paneling. Has anyone else replaced this in their 4 Runner for a 97 SR5? Where can you buy it at? Is it hard to do? Is there a way to fix it? There are parts where the color is really faded on it, looks like some kind of cleaner got behind the plastic covering and bleached it. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here is a picture of some of the paneling and how it has faded:

This is normal with the Toyota "SR5" dash kits. Honestly, they are not good and in about 2-3 years they will start looking from this. It's not from any cleaner. They company they use makes a cheap dash and skimped on quality, eventhough toyota charged $500 for this aftermarket option. I guarantee you havfe a little Toyota symbol on the radio piece. They all do this. Your only choice is to replace the whole kit. I have one in mine, not Toyota brand and lifetime warranty and it will never fade/crack.
