No, and I'm gonna tell you why once the hoods are on then you can only open it from teh front. it's 2 much hassle especially when you have to do things to the car that are in teh back. you'll be more inclined to just take one of the sides off then you have ot go through the reouble of bolting it back in. Now if your doing it for show reasons and you dont' have a fiberglass fromt then go for it because ou can lean up against the grill and all but if you have a fiberglass front then you are more precatious making it harder to operate

if we saw a decent pic maybe we could judge, but i'm guessing it'd look a lot like the suicide door idea someone had a while back, just another unique mod that might look good

instead of opening or splitting why not just have it open to the side or to the front. I guess that's like suiciding

I like that idea much better, would make working on your motor a lot easier, and you would have a ton more room..

i wouldn't do it on my car personally. it would make it a pain in the ass to work on.

as for the kit, total waste of money. the main parts of the kit are those hindges and yea, you can pick up all the parts for under 50 dollars at the hardware store or a cabinet shop.
