I only draw the line at stuff that sacrifices performance for looks. If it doesn't hurt performance then what the hell.. at that point it just becomes a matter of cash and how much you wanna spend.



There has been no mention of the weight of the new hinges. How much weight savings is there, if any ?

That could be enough to say it is a "performance" item and justify the cost, no ? lol

Nice try, but fogetaboutit. Weight savings is either negligible or negative.

Didn't weight them.. They feel about the same or maybe a touch less than the steel stockers..

Does anyone happen to have a pic of the hinges in the hood closed position?
Maybe someone has a pic of the hinge installed and pushed down (as the hood would be closed) before the hood is installed.
I would even appreciate a pic of just the hinge in the closed position.
Just want to check clearances before i order.

thanks
