Not for me but...

I saw a set on Pimp Yer Ride this week. They said they were the best on the market. Only $5,000 a pair!

Guess you found another part of your Vette you'll need to keep clean. The underside of the doors.

Then your vert. & horiz adjustments to clear hinges & done. But beware, drivers side is a pain to get at And the toe tap is putting it mildly.

Just courious on how well the seals for the door keep up when it rains? After a few drinks and my first time jumping in the car I would probably pull out on the door and bend the hindges. Not that I drink and drive.

If you ever see a set of these hinges I'm sure you'll agree, you won't be bending them. They are 1/2" thick & weigh about 20 lbs. a piece.
