Yes, it's entirely normal to notice small imperfections on the face of your fender, particularly tiny line indentations across the foam. These imperfections occur during the manufacturing process when the foam expands. It's essentially a trade-off for the exceptional material quality we use. As we strive to push the boundaries of production to give MAVEN its distinctive form and size, some imperfections may arise as the foam settles. Bear in mind that imperfections will be a natural part of your fender's lifespan. Over time, as the product serves its purpose (protecting your boat!) it might accumulate additional imperfections.
