the thing is that it is not just a hinge. it is more than that, its a bi-directional pivoting "hinge" its a masive peice of steel, 2 peices accually that is hidden in your fender. I have another kit that may be coming available soon that may be less exspensive and claims to be a better product, but we shall see. I know damn well that $1500 is a lot of money, but these guys are not making that much of a profit and neither am i, if you saw my price youw ould ask why i was really selling these... mostly just cause it fell in my lap and they asked me to be a dealer, so i figured why the hell not, im not gonna lose anything. im hoping that the new kit that is coming out, only available now for 2nd gen eclipses, will be what it says it is, cheeper and better quality, though that will be tough!
