Had a blister from an impact and they cut around it and they made a patch. Close up you can ID where edges meet but from 6 ft away you really can't see it. Patch was about 1/2 " round.
My 2018 had plastic pan leaking at about 18k. Replaced under warranty and leaking again, out of warranty. Sad thing is my 2023 Bronco sport has the same plastic junk.
