It's weird, the emblem is perfectly smooth outside, but I agree it looks like it was struck by something (hammer, bb, etc.) I can get light assemblies from LMR and AM for about the same price, $200+/- for the pair. The emblem is almost $100 depending where I look. I have seen them as low as $17 on eBay, but I don't use PayPal so its harder to hit those deals.
