Default hood hinges

My chrome hood hinges are starting to rust for the second set, so I'm trying to get a refund(story later). Does anyone have chrome hinges that they have had on for a long time without any rust on them? If so, where did you get them? I definitely need to order new hinges and I don't want this rust problem again. This company even sent me a set that already had rust showing through.Thanks for your help guys.

This doesn't sound like a C6. Two sets of hinges within a year?

If it is, then I do want hear more of this story.

Your profile shows you have a 2002 and a 2004 vette. Maybe one of those has the rusting hinge. This is the C6 section.

Your bling probably has something to do with it. Just take this off and I bet they stop rusting for you. May not work, but you'll do your car a great justice

There are plenty of vets that I don't like but I would never say anything negative; to each his own.We are suppose to be helpful to each other, not blast each other. I guess that's why we still have wars, because there are sooo many nasty people in the world.

Some are just trying to toughen up your skin in case you post in Off Topic by mistake the next time.
