Here's the aluminum glove box door hinges installed as of today. They worked flawlessly and shaved off 2.60 ounces weighing at 2.70 ounces for the pair. The stock types (below) as a pair weighed 5.30 ounces.

PS: The glovebox made entirely out of aluminum (posted here before) opens, closes and locks like a stocker.

By the way, does anyone here know where to get an original card board molded glove compartment. This one is a fold and stapled reproduction which works fine, but my parts number guru friend (Special K) is giving me a hard time over this one. LOL.
