Not taking sides, but I would never ship you a hood that you did not pay for in advance. If it was as described, you own it. BUT, there are lots of people who think they can change their mind at the shippers expense. You could get the hood and simply say you did not like it to the escrow company and you are off the hook. I don't know you, but this is not an escrow type part in my opinion. Gideon has honor payments on his steakandracingfuel account and has posted on the forum. I would have taken that as a good sign. I just simply would not leave myself self open to lose that much money on a subjective item. JMO
