I bought mine as part of the 2009 DDMWorks Nationals group buy. Dave set up a scale where the more people who bought the hinge set, the lower the price went.
The retail price is something around $1500 - 1700 last time I checked. Check with DDM works and see what they are selling them for currently.
I bought mine for less than $1000 but it was 2009 and 11 set group buy.
Dave installed mine at Nationals for me. I paid him $500.
You can ask Jeff at Chicpmagic.biz how much his price is today. He has a good discount from VDI and can give you a good idea on price and installation.
Dave told me that installation required from 4 to 8 hours depending on how well (or poorly) your car is aligned. Figure a low of $60 an hour to a high of $120 per hour.
I had Dave (DDMWorks) do mine. I got them at on a special sale but they're listed on their site for $1199. They did the install and I'm thinking I paid $600 or 650 but not really sure....got some other things done at the same time. If I remember correctly, the inside of the hood had to be modified slightly for it to fit correctly.
I do get constant comments on them...usually "Did that come with doors like that?"
One thing to watch out for.....do not close your hood with the doors open!!! They will hit!
Give yourself a good 8 hour window. That's how long it took me but I was a one man show when I installed mine. Got mine a few years ago on an E-bay make offer listing for 800.00. One word of caution. The grease fittings are very fragile and can be a bear to get to once installed (for future reference) :thumbs:
It took alot of offers. I even called them. Stick with it and you can get them down.
