Everything Hinges On This
The folks at AutoLc have done it again. Every die-hard tuner knows that looks are important (and we're not just talking about girls). To that end, AutoLc made an adjustable suicide hidden hinge system. We know, it's a mouthful! While driving on the wrong side will never be cool-damn Brits-opening your doors on the wrong side is. The kit is made of heavy-duty steel with one-piece bushed swing arms and 3/8-inch hinge pin. The unique notch design and adjustable mounting holes align with any door. The kit includes enough parts to complete two doors (recessed door pockets, mounting hardware and extra bracing). If you go balls-to-the-wall and get the deluxe kit, you'll be able to fine-tune the alignment to ensure a high-quality fitting after mounting. And only weighing in at 15 lb, this feature won't cost you any time in the quarter mile. The kit is backed by a limited-lifetime warranty. To get yours go to www.autoloc.com

Wheel Evolution
RH Evolution has introduced a new wheel, the F10. Manufactured using advanced technology for cast-aluminum wheels, it's engineered to have the weight savings and strength of forging, while retaining the cost benefits of a cast unit. Features include a new center assembly that allows the use of a covered cap or exposed lug nut area, depending on the look you desire. It's available in 18- and 19-inch diameters with variable widths to fit most applications. Finishes include painted graphite and silver shielded with a durable clear coat.

Woof! Woof!
If you're like me, the one complaint you have about a compact car is that there's not enough room in the trunk for all the shoes your girl wants to bring on spring break. (I mean really, twelve pairs for three days?) Worse, she wants you to take out the beloved sub to make room. Stop! Morel is here to save the day. The company introduces its new Elate car audio line that features five-, six-, nine-, and 10-inch subwoofers accompanied by tweeters and midranges. These compact woofers carry a big punch with deep and accurate bass reproduction. Features include: an aluminum die-cast chassis with a shallow aerodynamic design to minimize sound reflection distortion, a large-diameter Hexatech voice coil and one-piece DPC shallow cone to prevent cone breakup distortion and high levels, and a hybrid rear vented magnet system. If you've got money to burn, opt for the Accuset MX-22E two-way system or the MX-33 three-way system. I don't know about you, but I'm elated! Head to www.morel.co.il to get yours!
