Air bubbles on wing

Anyone else have air bubbles on their carbon fiber wing? Wondering if i should just leave it or go back to the dealer and complain?

I have one or two that I noticed.. And Alex is right, I do remember seeing in the manual that its normal to see a few.. Also, there's a TSB Article for the same "issue" which also states its a normal byproduct of the hand-laid CF process..

MalibuJack's got it right. There is a tsb on the wing noting that the bubbles are 'normal'. Most of us have one or two.

...I think it was a cop out on the part of Mitsu though. CF only gets bubbles in it when the air can't escape the resin because that resin was dried too quickly/improperly.
