Fixing interior scratches

Anyone have any tips on fixing some of the deeper scratches I have on plastic interior pieces like around the shifter console? I was considering that Ralliart carbon fiber shifter console but I heard it doesn't fit too well.

I don't know of any solutions to fixing scratches in the interior so either you are going to have to find a OEM center console that is in better condition than yours or go with the ralliart center console. I know the ralliart is for RHD cars but it should fit pretty well from what I have seen in other EVOs.

Yeah the best thing to do is just buy new pieces, im not sure if there is any plastic filler you could use.

Sometimes using a heat gun will make light scratches go away and make deeper scratches less noticeable. You have to be very careful doing this though.

Why not try and sand them down and then repaint?
