Default Question on a seibon carbon fiber hood?

I have a seibon oem carbon fiber hood. I was looking at it the other day. There are dips or dipples all over the top of the hood. I know nothing hit or fell on the hood and its always parked in the garage. Has anyone had this problem? Or is this normal with carbon fiber. I will try to take some pics but I dont know if it will be able to see them. Its acually pretty aggravating when i look at it. Does anyone know if the will warranty something like that?

Anyone know which companies are making dry carbon hoods for the Z? Personally I really hate paying good money on carbon products that have inherent imperfections.
