Custom Paint job on Ram Air Hood

Does anyone know where i might be able to sell a Ram Air hood with a custom paint job on it? I don't know of anyone who would want the hood alone but at least i have a custom paint job to back it up with. I am just looking for suggestions on where i might sell it. I know ebay is one but is there any others? Do you think i could sell it to like a dealer or retailer? Maybe a car paint shop or something? Any help would be appreciated.

It fits 98-02 models of either firebird or TA. The paint job is a white hood with custom stripes painted on it. The stripes are made of a special type of paint that changes colors when viewed at different angles and different light. At night, it appears as black, during the day, it can range from dark blue, to dark green, to dark purple. Within the stripes are painted the Phoenix bird (sreaming chicken found on '79 trans am special edition) that also has the ghost effect. The birds can only bee seen when the sunlight hits them and are more visible at different angles of light. At night, you can't tell they are there. The hood itself is brand new. I purchased it from a guy who sells custom made hoods and it fits my car great. I bought it unpainted, unsanded, everything. It cost me $500 to buy the hood alone, another 300 to sand and paint it, and another 200 for the custom paint stripes and designs. I got a deal for the custom stripes though b\c when i took my hood in to this guys place, he had a friend that had given him a sample of this new paint (and by the way, it isn't the same as the "chameleon" scheme found on some firebirds). The paint cost about $300 a quart. I got a discount on mine b\c the sample he got was for free. Now he is having to pay for it himself, $300 a quart. I will probably sell my hood for around $800 though it is worth over a thousand. I am going to have trouble selling this hood b\c it isn't easy finding someone that has a white firebird or TA that would want a custom hood.

I have a few pictures but i can't get them to work on the website. I had to put them in microsoft word and i will have to e-mail them to you. So in other words, i need your e-mail address.
