You're not the only one thinking $1000 for a set of hinges is outrageous. If someone spend that much of a set of hinges, the rest of the car better have the absolute best of everything. Anyway else would be foolish, IMO.
No way I'd spend that kind of money on such a item. Stockers don't look that bad.
I've seen the mustang. Did even notice the hinges,
