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.

The kit takes all of about 8 hrs to put on. All u have to do is remove old hinges & scrape excess glue off of inside frame where new hinges go & reuse half of your old hinges & bolt on. 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.

Let's just say; it takes some getting used to. The responses are awesome. I just like fast & different,but not radical.

Ya no problem, but I had another idea . I will take a pic when it is done. It will be another unique feature to my car for the next World Of Wheels in the spring.

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.
