Hey guys, just got a brand new Edelbrock Performer 2151 intake in the mail today, and I noticed a couple of the outer edges above the ports are dinged up. Is this severe enough that I should return it for a new one, or am I being too picky?

Clean it up, unless they have one in stock to send to you.

Too picky

I'd clean up the edges and use it.

A good flat bastard mill cut file will do the trick.

Don't bother sending it back.

Get a good file and clean it up. Nobody will ever notice and it won't affect performance.

Hands-on, personal touch, small machine craftsmanship! Your off to knowing the engine well. Have fun!

Test fit the intake as well. I guarantee it’ll need to be surfaced anyway.
