Icon2 Should i resurface the flywheel or just throw it in?

So i found a ACT clutchkit/12lbs flywheel in a d16y7. there was little oil on it(i think from a rear main) i sprayed some cleaner on it and it was left looking like this. I will be throwing it in my car which is stock z6. So my question is should i bother resurfacing the flywheel, seeing how im not changing the clutch(using the ACT clutch with the ACT flywheel), i am just going to be transfering the whole setup to replace mine. And if i should re surface the flywheel ( from a machine shop), will i need buy another pilot bearing, cause i think they have to press it out to secure the flywheel on the machine?

It looks fine, just scuff it up a little with some emery cloth or sandpaper to break the glaze then spray it with brake clean and wipe it off with a clean rag.

The pilot bearing isn't really pressed in there all that tight, you can normally tap them out with a hammer and socket without damaging them.
