Unhappy BMW OEM CF Spoiler Bad .Quality?

I received my spoiler today but I am not very happy with the quality of the piece. It has some imperfections on the top and a lot of pits/voids. Also, the edges have a fringe on them. Will those of you who have installed the CF spoiler please take a look at the pictures and let me know if this is the norm for this spoiler. Thanks!

This is OEM. Maybe I should have went with a replica. I e-mailed the vendor, hopefully I get a response tomorrow. I don't think I will have an issue exchanging it, I just wanted to get your guys opinions first. Thanks.

No issues at all with the BMW Performance spoiler or mirror covers. Excellent quality and looks.

Sending it back tomorrow for a replacement. Hopefully I have better luck this time around. I doubt it though because the same hungover Slovakian probably made this whole batch!
