Thankfully it all came out. If you look very closely there are some horizontal indentations in the plastic bumper but none of the scratches went all the way through the paint.

Very frustrating!!! I'm glad you were able to buff it out.

The GT4 shifter feels better than the stock shifter, but it’s still not close to where I want it in terms of throw length, crispness, notchiness, and precision (basically that classic bolt action feel that many people love). I kinda regret not checking what shifter my 981 Black Edition had before I sold it bc those shifts were perfection, and I’m starting to suspect it had a Numeric shifter. I may order a Numeric shifter with 2mm spring soon.
Welp, I ended up ordering a 2mm Numeric shifter about a week after I installed the GT4 shifter, and I finally got around to installing it yesterday. I initially set it a couple of threads above the minimum height and it was kinda meh. Then I brought it up by several threads, and now it’s perfect! I also got a brushed aluminum shift **** with yellow stitched boot. I may try out a 917 style wood shift **** soon.

Today I installed a 991.2 steering wheel. It really makes the interior look and feel new again. I have a pair of yellow seatbelts that I might install tomorrow—the interior should be complete after that.

If anyone wants to buy the GT4 shifter, let me know.
