I had a few scratches there that were 10x worse than that picture (man I need a microscope to see your scratch in that pic ). Mine were caused by loading a portable AC unit that would only fit forcefully in the passenger seat in the parking lot of home depot. All I did was spray some armor all on a damp sponge and kind of worked it into the dash with some circular motions and a little elbow grease, and it never came back. Give that a try before sanding the dash. I would never sand that dash as it will make it 10x worse and will turn it white.
Similar problem here. I tried to put a mini fridge into the passenger seat and it wouldn't fit......i eventually got it in but got more than a couple scratches on the plastic interior

just got back from the dealer. the section that i scratched (the panel right above the glove box door) cannot be purchased seperatly. It's a part of the entire dash assembly, not an individual component. So I either need to learn to live with the scratch, figure out a way to get rid of it, or buy the complete dash assembly for $2,200!!
The COP's I did at the same time as my UDP's and CMDP's (that's a lot of initials!), so I couldn't tell you if they gave me anything. I haven't been to the track yet with the new driveshaft, but the butt dyno says it feels a little quicker off the line. I also did all my rear suspension pieces at the same time as the driveshaft, so even when I go to the track it'll be hard to tell which helped me improve the most.

On a side note you got 305 RWHP on an auto with bolt on's seems pretty impressive! Notice anything with the drive shaft or the COPs?
^ I have to agree with you...the texture doesnt lend it self to sanding down without making it even more noticeable..
+1,000,000
Got the stealership and get a new unscratched panel,
if one actually exists thats not scratched, and buy one
if it bothers you that much.
The first scratch tends to attract future scratches.....

I would not do anything about it right now. Let a month or so go by. If it's still bothering you, then think about a repair. It's amazing how some things that really, really bother us today are not even on our radar as time passes.

Had several scratches, same area. Used superfine steel wool, very little pressure. Not Brillo pad steel wool, but the kind you buy at Hardware or paint store. Now looks like new. Did not dull the sheen in any way.
