Default New Exhaust Panel Question

I recently bought a new Exhaust Panel for my car, and received it yesterday.

But for a new item, I'm seeing some flaws on it that I question to be typical, or normal.





]

So, just asking anyone who might have bought one: Are these flaws normal?

Thanks.
Steve

That panel is total junk. I hope you bought it from someone where you can send it back. I recently bought an outer fiberglass door skin from Eckler's for my 72 and the finish on it is perfect. They do handle the best fiberglass panels.

Cavu2u,
What year is your car and i'll see what I have? And is that just the center piece? Thanks
