Are all those scuffs and scratches from the install? looks like that scuff on the leather is removable, but the scratches on the plastic, not so much!

the scuffs are, which were easily wiped away. The scratches were from having to carry military equipment around here and there. The scratches are pretty much gone now since I've been using Meguiars car clean kit.

I am assuming the shorter throws dont throw off your synchro rev match at all?
