yup grade varies on company...it all depend on luck sorry to say. but you do get better quality with the brand, but as the import industrie is now, there is nothign perfect. witht he little defect you have, it is probably a good hood.. just as long as the edges line up.

If anyone is still looken at this post here is the email i got back from the seller

"Based on the picture you sent, I would have to say that any hood you get
from VIS is going to have small imperfections in them. I have yet to see one
of their hoods that did not. You could get another one but chances are it
too would be similar or perhaps even a touch worse. Your hood is typical of
what VIS manufactures."

That sucks! I know how you feel. It pisses you off cuz you know it's there let alone when you look at it. Just chill with the hood you have, cuz you'll be even more pissed if you send it off and get a hood that is worse! Sorry bro
