Yea I understand that idea, I also hated waiting for it as I think it took 9 days from Cali to Indiana but I don't think shipping is where you want to try and save a few bucks on a CF hood ya know?! They gave me a date it was supposed to arrive and called 2 days ahead of time to set up a time that I would be there to get it. The driver called an hour before he arrived and helped me unload it and stayed long enough for me to take it out, admire/inspect it and then took off. You will forget all about it when you open the box and the light hits the CF. Even the freight driver was excited about it when I unwrapped it.
DO IT!!!!
