'93 Hood Hinges ... Photos Please

[bumperquip]

For you '93 owners who have (or at least think you have) the original hood hinges, would someone please post a photo or two of your hinges?

I'd like to see how the finish holds up over time.

I've just purchased a new set of hinges and I'm trying to decide if I should clear coat them or somehow otherwise corrosion protect them or if the cad plating holds up well.

My vote is clear coat, but let the pictures do the talking...

Mine were painted white from the factory

Not in a '93 they weren't.

Mine look just as bad, if not worse. I plan to sandblast and paint with "cast blast" for that natural cast iron look. I think clear coat will be too shiney... Just my .02.
