Shenanigans. I call it. That's interesting for a show car but a sh*t-ton of work for a driver IMO.



Mold all the front bits together, and figure out how to get the front to rise up without taking anything with it. Then install bigass hinges made for the purpose. Sounds simple on paper.

That's gotta be a major pain in the ass working on the car if you need to get under the hood for anything.

I want it! Remove the hinges so it just comes off and it's a mechanics dream.

Mechanics dream if it all came off easy like Jon said, but man what a PITA if you get in a wreck. Sir, that will be 4k to replace your front end.

I'd just make a mold of the whole front end and make it out of fiberglass or carbon fiber. No hinge, just removable.
