After reading about them I felt much more comfortable taking a chance on a $575 hinge that I did and $800 one.

My first impression was that they looked well built and heavy enough to handle the metal hood. We got them bolted in this weekend and I was afraid they would take hours to get right due to all the adjustability that they have built in. I was wrong. They bolted right up and adjusters actually do adjust the hood with little input. Very happy with how the hood operates now. Goes full up and they also look nice. No raised hood in the back!! Hope this helps others on the fence about hinges.
thanks for sharing that .....
