Default Chrome Hood Hinges

Looking for a set of chrome hood hinges, called Ecklers, Corvette Central, and they are out of stock. Also called Mid America and they dont sell them. Can anyone help?

I have some on order from Ecklers and they are saying that their backlog should be filled by Oct 31st. I am still waiting for mine. Been on order for a month.

Performance Design Specialties wants $610.00 to chrome the ones I already have which is way to much, I have a set on order with Ecklers but was hoping to get a set sooner, my supercharger should be done this weekend and thought it would be easier to do the install now when we put the new hood on.
Thanks for the help guys.

Try calling Creative Engine Covers
804-763-6288

They sell 'em (outright) for $400/pr, and if they do have any in stock, let me know please.
I contacted them earlier this year, and I just missed a batch of hinges they had recently done, and I haven't contacted them since. They are one of the few things I need to finally finish my engine compartment.

They are still about 8 weeks out, they are the same ones Ecklers and Corvette Central sell.
