Did the cardboard test on my cabinet handles... totally switched me to pulls.

Honestly that trick saved my ass in Barcelona last month, totally works.

Wait, did the bumper look fine when you swapped the shutter, or did it only show up after you put it all back together?

Honestly I used to think the whole "test it on cheap paper" thing was just printers being dramatic. Like, who cares what it looks like on the dumpster quality stock when it looks perfect on my screen, right? Then I did a batch of flyers for a buddy's garage sale and the deep red I picked came out looking like dried ketchup on soggy cardboard. Totally changed my mind after that, now I print a test sheet on whatever dollar store paper they're gonna use before I even send the final file anywhere. It's annoying and costs an extra 20 minutes but I'd rather do that than redo everything twice at 2am like you just did.

My buddy did the same thing for a flight to Chicago, paid for wetland restoration instead of a seat with legroom, and his only takeaway was that he felt great about it for about a week and then forgot entirely. He also got stuck next to a guy who snored like a chainsaw, so he says he'd probably just take the upgrade next time.
