Gas Charged Hood Hinges?
 
Hey guys, well as I'm bolting on the new sheetmetal, I went to the storage unit and picked out the hood hinges, one of them had been broken previously and someone tried to weld the piece back together. This got me thinking, does anyone offer a gas charged shock to replace the hood hinge springs. I guess it would just make for a cleaner look, and smoother operation. Has anyone had exp. doing this? Also, I'd like to do this to the trunk as well to eliminate the spring rods. As always any insight on the matter would be great, thanks

Also, I don't wanna pay $625 for billet DSE hinges!! LOL

haha, Although there billlet, and awsome looking, I can't justify the cost. I'll prob. end up making them myself.

interactive systems and technologies sells a universal kit that's of nice quality.
i used one on my syclone.
they have specific fit kits for some apps, also.

Check out Redline Tuning. . .although they don't offer a kit specifically for the application I'm sure that with the broad range of hood struts that they do have one would be the right size for the application and it would just be a matter of some bracketry. . .the bracketry they have may even work. . .who knows. Plus the Quik-Lift only costs $70.00 and it looks clean as well.
