Default Damaged Whipple Part (What to do?)

Well, as I was going through the inventory I noticed that the corner of the Whipple was damaged. It looks like someone at the factory dropped it or smashed the edge somehow. What do you think I should do? Should I go ahead and install it hoping that nothing inside was damaged?
IMO it isnt too bad..... however, the hole is slightly out of round now and I am wondering what is the best way to fix it.

ANY IDEAS....PLEASE??

I cant really "go get another one" considering they ship it from CA and I am in FL. I wonder if I could make them overnight the assembly to me. I really do not feel like boxing up 110 lbs of parts in all that foam and trying to send it back. [:@]Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I mean I already have all the wiring and random parts I need. The only replacement I would ask for is the assembly itself. Hmmm, going to contact the sellers now. Thanks for confirming my initial thoughts of not taking the risk.

Yea, deff make them swap out with you. For that price you want it right even if it takes a little while longer.

I have to agree with everyone else. Definitely make sure they make it right. Don't settle for a damaged part just to save a little time. You'll end up regretting it in the end.

sucks, but i would wait and get that part replaced
