What are some options (besides buying all new components) for my sticky, cracked dash and door panels?

Carpet type dash mat like this. Autozone, O’Riellys, etc should be able to order for your car.  
Door panels, I don’t know.

There was a 10-year extended warranty by Lexus for this problem. but you missed it by a couple of years.

They do make dye/paints for plastics and for leather that can be used after you get the sticky substance off.
