oem hood feels so cheap, light, it feels like it will dent if you put slight amount of pressure on it
or is it just mine?

I guess they have to keep the weight down somehow...
My hood has a lot of little rock chips in it and I am probably going to get a CF hood in a while (long while probably)

It's normal. My dads old old S Mercedes was solid bulletproof. Then he got the newer S430 and in about that time period, the light weight era began. The doors did not shut all robusty-ness-ly ( 
) and the car still felt solid but not tank-like like the S class before that.
My mom's old minivan would dent on the side when you leaned on it. That thing was a piece of crepe.
Since I do not lie on my hood too often I don't really mind it being a little thin.
