so a reputable compony that is well known on here and myself have found a suicide hood kit now i will worn you if you baught this kit if a possible gp doesnt go through it will be pricey retail is almost 2 grand i have no clue what a gp price will be thats between the shop and his oversight
here is the info for it
When building a custom vehicle, we're always looking for an angle to separate our vehicle from all the rest. As the level of automotive craftsmanship increases, so does the demand for ultra-cool custom products. For this reason, Electric-Life and Street Dreams by Ross DeMaagd have cooperatively designed the first ever power Reverse Hood Kit. At the touch of a button the Reverse Hood Kit is designed to lift up, move forward and open in reverse. Whether you've got cool graphics or wicked flames the Reverse Hood Kit is perfect for your custom ride or street rod.
While traditional reverse opening hoods are manually operated and often require major valence clearance, Electric-Life's kit utilizes power actuators and a patent pending cam lever design to move the hood out of the way of any valence or front body paneling. Smooth operation is guaranteed with gas shock stabilizers and rear hood machined Delrin axial guideway. The Power Reverse Hood Kit is available in two configurations, bolt-in and universal fit. The universal kit can be installed in any vehicle with a traditionally front mounted hood over the course of a weekend with minimal welding and fabrication. Electric-Life's bolt-in kits require no fabrication and can be installed in a single afternoon with hand tools and an electric drill.
Every Power Reverse Hood Kit comes with the following:
- 200-lb. actuators
- Plug-and-Play wiring harness
- Billet aluminum Street Dreams brackets
- Power ignition safety cutoff.
- 6-channel keyless entry system.
- Heavy duty gas struts and manual emergency entry cable
this is what the kit looks like it is powered but we might look into if they have a non motorized one which will have to be cheaper
at the moment just wanna see how much intrest there is i have seen many people on here ask for it so here it is
here is a video of the hood in action

no offense but you can get hinges off another car and do it and save yourself 1900 bucks
true thats why im seeing if we can do a gp on manual hinges at a decent price that dont need to be fabbed to all hell

you do realize you can buy the hinges off a couple different cars and just bolt them right up right? 95% of j-body owners are not willing to cut or weld to modify there car....
well i knew of the i believe the lesabre hinge but i had thought it needed to be modifyed to fit

i am very sorry, but lambo doors dont even cost that much. hell they didnt even cost that much when they first came out....! two grand for a suicide hood? if you pay that then you are just plain crazy..........or rich beyond my dreams. i bought lesabre hinges for $4 at a junkyard. even if i had 50 hours in labor at a shop it would still be half of that price.
as cool as that video is, IMO its not worth 2K.
