Do you have alot of these? My first thought is that it is not normal. Our Wildcat did not have any cracks that I could see.

No cracks BUT I do have what appears to be scuff marks at the top on one side. Kind of strange - rough feeling like it was dragged on the concrete.

On my old tt there was some spots on the FG side that looked like cracking but it turns out it was stray pieces of the glass fibers that were actually on top off the panel and then the resin was over that.

I cant really see that picture to well but could that be the case here or do the cracks actually have depth tp them?

Just a thought

Tim U might be right. As I drag my finger nail across it I hit some bumps. So some fibers my have escaped and look were they might be caught. Again if U are correct shows very poor workmanship.

The keystone passport that we recently wrecked was covered with those...I looked at about ten other keystones on a dealers lot and they all had the same thing...

I was told it was purely cosmetic and not to worry about it?

I hope thats all it is with yours and not actual cracks.

But you are right about the poor workmanship...Is there NO ONE that cares about there job anymore ANYWHERE!

My WC is on jack stands now...I think I bought someone else's headache! and the dealar sucks out loud!!! Take the money and run....

I can't see your images from work, but will check when I get home. No need to laugh your butt off.
