Custom Carbons CF hood defects(large pics)

I just recieved my hood today, and ther is a pretty big defect right around where the stock grill bolts up. I didn't purchase a B stock hood off ebay. This should be there grade a hood. What do you think?

It's the front of the hood where the stock grill bolts too. That entire line of bubbles is very noticable when your looking at the hood. I'm very worried about what that crack is going to do when the hood is under stress on the car.
It's very hard to photograph CF with my bad camera.

I emailed the company that I purchased the hood from. Hopefully they'll agree to send me another hood. I just don't think that this could be anything other than a B stock hood--If this is their A stock, I don't want it.

Nope.

Damaged in shipping perhaps?

That's a manufacturing defect.
