More of a question about a Very very minor issue. One of the rivets holding down the build number by the shifter is really sharp. Looks like the mandrel didnt fully detach when they installed it. Anybody else notice this or have an idea of the best way to smooth it out?

Tape off around the rivet with some green or blue 3m tape, and sand it down with a block sander or small sheet. I personally wouldn't worry about it. I don't think my hand/arm has ever come close to that area?

get a drill bit thats slightly bigger then the dimple and make a small bevel that should take the burr out and make it nice and smooth
