    x 2 They look solid, anything that can keep these big hoods up better than factory is awesome. :2thumbs:


    I'll powder coat mine black. :cheers:

    They would not sell me the convertible stiffening upgrade, it is only available for their built cars. I can't even tell from these pics or the ones of their blue car what the upgrade is over their regular kit. I'd liek to see how much the hinges are as well. The other nonMopar ones I have seen of that style go for $600 and up from other vendors.

    I haven't seen any other vendors selling aftermarket hinges for E-Bods.
    Care to share who they are, I maybe interested depending on their design and look.


    Thanks. :cheers:

    the big one out there is www.ringbrothers.com, but as I stated they only list nonMopar applications right now. I think it is them and one other company making these types of hinges.

    Doh! My bad brother, brain fart and just dumb, I totally over-read that you put "non" Mopar hinges. Shucks, I even quoted it too LOL.......no excuses it's my fault but it's partly due to the being up 30 hours straight, consistently.  :crying:

    Wow.  Nice.
    I'm sure it's just the picture but the camber on the front wheel in the first pic, looks awkward. 
    But man, I bet that thing drives nice...
