well i've only been discussing this for a week or two, this week I"m gonna take the pics to my shop and see what he says after just seeing the pics...but i'm 95% sure i'm gonna need prints or actual hinges to duplicate them, so until someone can do one of those two...it's a deadlock...I can get them dupped for cheap, just need one of the two lol

well until i can get some hinges from someone, or the blueprints i'm deadlocked, but yeah $400 is about what the entire setup will cost, most likely less...

i can't tell ya much about it...all i have is those pics...but i'm guessing from everything i heard, it fits stock mounting points but people prefer to weld in place since it's alot stronger...

what we could do is...somebody (me or this guy) can buy a set of lambo's, make and make em fit. THEN take that set, and replicated them and sell them to you. A set of hinges sells for what...1000? So then we we would sell 5 of them for 500.
500 (for MX-3 members) per set x 5people is $2500.
It woudl cost a 200 a set for a machine place to make (compete estimate)
$200 x 5 sets =1000 and you guys woudl have hinges for half the price.
Price of orignal set of hinges=1000
totall cost=2000
subtract from sale of $2500
500 profit.
First problem, get a hold of some hinges.
