Alright heres the deal ... first off, I would NEVER be doing this to my own car because I dont really like lambo doors on the eclipse. Anyhow, my buddy with a GSX wants to do some lambos and doesnt wanna pay for $1,000 for them which is obvious because nobody wants to pay that much money for 2 hinges and $50 gas shocks from a VW Jetta's trunk. My question is, does anyone or has anyone built these hinges themselves and how do you do it. This is was we were going to do but i dunno if its gonna work ... fab up some brackets for the fender and bolt it down, make a piece that comes off that bracket and bolts on to a bracket bolted down on the door and then connect the two brackets with a somewhat loose bolt so it will push up. Now our prob is that if we did it this way, the door wont open out a lil bit first to push it up. We will use the gas shocks from a VW Jetta's trunk to hold up the door since they are small and pretty damn sturdy. Any idea's of how to make these or anything.

Finally Turbo'd!!! Now to the track

this has deff. turned into one funny ass forum!!! like i said, i wont have more pics until im done getting my car running, probably by monday. whoever said it doesnt look like 13 hours of fabbing, is cuz we had made 5 diff hinges and thats the last one we made and got it right! sorry, we cannot sell them for $100 because they cost about $275 to make including the shocks. The shocks are called LPH 550 series. Dont know what the LPH stands for though, lol but its the same ones that decah uses and are coming straight from decah! The hinges DO DO DO DO DO DO hold up a door and are SUPER strong and the welds are perfect and will never break and thats a gurantee. The first pair to be sold is going on ebay with a starting price $0.01 so i will post the link in this forum when we get the first pair on there probably around tuesday and you guys can battle it out there who wants it, lol!!! I do know that these are direct fir for the 95-99 eclipse but not sure about the talon's. It shouldnt matter cuz they should have the same setup as the eclipse but i am just warning you talon guys out there! We also decided that we will paint them for you as well. Midnight black actually so then you dont hafta worry about nasty ass rust. Now I am gonna go drink some beer then work on that damn headgasket some more! I got like 10 emails on peeps who wants first dibs on them, like ^^^ take your chances on the first pair on ebay and after those we will have 5 sets left over with shocks. We are trying to get ahold of the company who distributes the shocks to become a dealer thru them so we dont have to keep buying from decah cuz they will only sell 6 at a time so they dont run out. Ill keep everyone posted and keep up the funny shit here, its great! This is how a forum SHOULD be, lol

Like whatever happened to $300 flat plus shipping for 2gnt???, now we gotta have to fight with rest of the world??? NO Thanks

Ya shouldn't even have bothered posting on here if your just gonna post them on Ebay. I could have been able to find them there myself. I was willing to even pay that 300+shipping to be the guinea pig, based on your word alone and the pics. Looks like I may now have to get some off Shockeclipse when he gets finished with them cause I don't wanna battle it out on overpriced Ebay.

I understand that you only have so many shocks, but it still seems kinda crappy to me.

i said that the FIRST pair was going to be sold on ebay bud. after that every other pair we make will be sold to the people here!!!!! if you want other hinges, thats fine, get them. The price is at $300 flat + shipping still ... i said ^^^, the FIRST pair is only getting sold on ebay just cuz we wanna see how much they will sell for . To whom ever wants them, they are the same, $300 + s&h!

FYI, it is super hard to come across the shocks to get in huge amounts. Decah doesnt want to sell many obviously because now someone had created some that work and they think they could loose business by selling one of their products! The company of the shocks called and left a message that they are processing our application and we should here back with them by the end of today (friday) so i will keep you guys posted on the shock issues. As of now, we have 6 sets coming. We are keeping 2 for ourselves obviously and then we will have one set on ebay with the set of hinges for the first pair ever being sold by us. Then we will have 3 left over for whomever has first dibs. I have one person who emailed who wants asap so i still need to 2 peeps who want em. There wont be a video made, but you deff see about 20 pictures by tuesday of how they work!

Truly sorry man, guess I misunderstood ... My bad... If other dibs haven't been called, I'm calling . I have $300 waiting, but would love to see those pics on tuesday just for verification.

you never answered my question way up there in the thread somewhere... lol

but can you make them to open normal also. I know one company sells a kit that opens normal and up. If you can do that id be interested in set.
