What to do with a brand new replacement hood?

So about a month ago I ordered a replacement hood for my C320 to vinyl wrap and install. Had it mailed to me since I don't have a truck to move it. To make a long story short, there was a very slight imperfection in the hood. I let the company know this. Wasn't expecting anything, maybe a $50 credit. I even fixed it myself and have since installed it. But instead of a credit they sent me another replacement hood. Tried to stop the delivery since I already put the first one on, but they said it was too late. I guess it wasn't worth the cost for them to have the second hood shipped back. Cause they told me to just go ahead and keep both of them. Pretty sweet right? Except now I have this giant box taking up space in my garage with a hood I don't need. I left it all in the original shipping container only opening the top to see it was in the box. So what should I do with this thing? Would anyone be interested in it? I'd love to be able to make some type of trade for it. The hood was free to me, so I'm not going to be greedy any decent offer can have it. Anyone have any other ideas on what else I could do with it? I'm open to anything.
