I swappwd.mine today with Anderson Composites and they have tons of flaws. Working with ORA on a return. I'm super disappointed. Hopefully they make things right. For what these parts cost they should be flawless.

I bought C7 Carbon side vents 1st, they were horrible. I returned them and got APR side and hood vents and they look really great. Only issue is where they hood vents bonded the bolts to the back, looks like the press put a slight bulge in them, probably due to extended heat. Most people would not see it though. It could be sanded out and clear coated to fix it.

I think no one would have noticed your issues in the photo except for maybe where it is cracked. But that is a lot of flaws if you ask me. Disappointing. Try APR. I would be curious if yours have a bulge too on the rear-most flat area where the bolts are on the back side.

Yeah, they weren't noticeable until I pulled it out in the sun and I gave a final wipe down. That's when I saw lots of scratches and that huge chip. I wasn't going to make a big deal out of it until I noticed a whole lot more. Stress marks and flaws under the clear coat. So it's not something that can be buffed out. Honestly I just find it unacceptable. My side vents are perfect. I got those from Anderson, this piece however is not so good.

if you didn't notice that huge chip before installing. you probably made the huge chip..

No it was there before. I didn't honestly. I took this when I unboxed and just put it back in package until yesterday when I Installed. I wish I would've caught it.
