how well does it fit and what panels are removed, what hinge kit do you use?

If i installed a flip front i would use the Mini Tec kit that the VTEC guys use on superfastmini's.com. It just makes sense to me to pivot it from the rear and get it up and out of the way not pivot it in front of the car like they usually do.
