I've seen the hinges on www.ebay.com awhile ago, but they were EXPENSIVE. I think those would really set off my engine bay though, its a shame they cost that much

Yeah, I'm the one who posted the link to Ebay, and I don't recall what they wanted, I'm not affiliated with the seller, I just posted it because it was something I hadn't seen before.

However, I do have a friend of my dad's who I guess you would consider a master chrome smith, if there were such a title, and he said that for the amount of work it would take to do the hinges, that the price they charged on Ebay wasn't overpriced. These aren't mass produced or anything that I know of.

Have yours powdercoated to match your color scheme. Bunches cheaper and it'll last longer.
