What: Group buy for hood hinges that swing the hood forward and allow you to eliminate the front hood pins. This version is the version compatible with the coupe front end. It also will work for the S/R original front end if you desire to add a mesh grille and need clearance over the top of the grill. The Coupe style arm is much more swept back to provide the clearance and, as it requires 2x the material it also costs 2x as much for the single piece.
Individuals wishing to upgrade their S/R front end to the coupe front end only need to purchase the arm. All of the existing S/R hinge parts are compatible with the coupe hinge.
Coupe Arm:
Cost:
Full Hinge Setup:
5-9 people: $240

15+ people: $210
Coupe Arm Only (for S/R retrofits)
5-9 people: $70
10-14 people: $59

To make it financially easier for existing customers to retrofit, prices for these pieces is only $10 over my actual cost. Mr. wonderful on Shark Tank would call me stupid. Good thing I don't like Mr. Wonderful.
