At least the hinges are 50% off the HD
(Thought everyone know H D stood for Hundred Dolla) I'll be the last one doing this but it is on the to do list..

I have to agree they are a big improvement in the looks dept. I installed mine last year.

Until I put mine on, I never gave much thought to the hinges.
Not to give away secrets...but did you know you can remove the hinge
pin with a #15 torx bit (just in case you lose your key and need to get
into your tour pack).
Can't do that with the upgraded hinges...(hint hint)

Yep, added it to the "to do" list. Check! Done, in an hour and a half.

Never gave them a second look until I read about them here. Just one more thing to do after I get done with the other one(s).

I thought we agreed we wouldn't tease them out loud.

I did the hinges last week and they were a total PITA!!! The rivets in the old hinges were so loose that they would just spin with the drill bit. I didn't have a grinder so I had to use a chisel to cut the heads off. Took me about 2 hours to do it but it was really worth it. They look so much better.
