How big of a deal is this in the long term? I couldn’t possibly care less about aesthetics, but can there be any issues with oxidation of the exposed unfinished aluminum over time? I live in NC now; it gets pretty humid. I’ll be moving back to TX where it is very humid.
A lot of times, most “blems ” are a superior standard of finish from the factory that most won’t even be able to identify. This goes for Most “blem sales” on popular websites. I picked up a blem C2 and I couldn’t tell you where the issue is. Worst case, there’s getting it refinished. By the way, I’ve lived in NC and now in Central TX, and I’ll take this over NC humidity any day of the week lol. YMMV though depending on what part you’re moving too, I admit that lol.
