Default Question About Carbon Fiber

Hello,

I recently purchased a Seibon C/F hood for my S. Upon delivery of the hood I realized dings, looks like hail damage. I am being told this is imperfections with the carbon fiber weave. I currently do not have pics but they can be taken. Any input?

Not all carbon is created equal
The good stuff is flawless but will cost you a pretty penny

Probably going to need pictures if you want an accurate answer. If the dings follow a regular pattern, then it probably part of the weave, but it's been a long time since I've seen a piece of CF that big.
