I came across this for the 95-99 accent and I think it looks like a decent upgrade for 22$. What I really wanted to know is can I get one for my tib, I had a look and they dont look interchangable, and I understand that the picture shown is clearly not a hood hinge for an accent. I tried contacting the company and getting more info, and tried to get a name on the manufacturer of the part, and i am pretty sure that the help desk there is staffed by a monkey, or some other primate, one of the small ones without thumbs, either way, they were no help. Does anybody recognize this part? or the manufacturer? can i get it somewhere for the tib? i dont think its gonna fit, will it?

What does it do? Lift the rear of the hood?
Or does it keep the hood up, without the hood support?

i thought of that, the tib is listed as 79110-27000, its close, but no cigar, i was hoping somebody recognized the part and knew who manufactured it. An idea that just hit me now was to get a stock accent hood hinge and this kit and replace both hinges on the tib, an "accent hood hinge swap" if you will, but i doubt that the bolt holes would line up, that would be too easy.
