You can take them out slightly buy sanding but you will not be able to match the texture back perfect... try using some really fine grit sand paper. then take a heat gun to the panel...the heatgun will bring the color back to the panel after you sand it. If you have never used a heat gun on plastic before, take your time and do it very slowly...if you spend too much time in one area you will ruin the plastic. Like I said this is not a perfect fix but it will make it look better. It should be close enough that only you know it's there.
On 2nd thought try it with a hairdryer. Less chance of f'n something up.
