New or Used hood hinges
 

Ok so I need new hood hinges. Im looking at either new hinges and spring or used ones. My question is should I go with good used ones if i find them or should I go with all new? If go with the used ones they might have the springs still on them, so thats a plus. If I go with the new ones I would have to install the new springs which Im really concerned about. I have no clue how. This isn't about price just quality and if I am capable of installing the springs myself.

Thoughts ???

Repro's aren't known for being good (that said, after a year I haven't had any problems with mine from LMC), but you'd be much better off finding completely unused NOS ones. You'll have to pay the price, though.

I bought used hinges with all new hardware installed including springs. Not one regret since installing them.
I even spent the extra money on powder coated ones.;):chevy:

You can have a set rebuilt. This is a site I came a cross on the board. http://www.hoodhingerepair.com/index.html
