Very unique. Looks like your bumper is sitting in too far, or is that just the camera?

seems like it would be a chore to get the hood opened and propped that high, is it? Might be crazy to make a massive damper for the one side.

And can you take some pictures of the hinges if you dont mind giving your secret away?

nothing holds down the driver side it moves a little in high cross winds going down the hywy but I am not worried about it.

I am going to hold on to the info just a little bit longer.

Not a problem,I was thinking hinge to hinge so it could open either way just use a wing nut on the drivers side to keep it normal most of the time.

Thanks,Scott

its loose from scraping on EVERYTHING, so there aren't even any bolts on the sides in the fender well.

the hood is not that heavy, just hold up with left hand put in prop with right hand and then let it back down.

yep it is just a hinge between the stock one and the hood.
