Clam Hinge 2.0

Clamhinge has been one of our most popular items. It has been used by thousands of Lotus owners now.

It is compatible with all Toyota 2ZZ-GE 4 cylinder powered Elise and Exige models. Sorry, this kit will not fit the Rover powered S2 or S1 Elise and Exige

We have made several improvements to the kit over the years including better clam support brace, improved rear diffuser brace, and others. It's now version 2.0!

With this nifty bit-o-kit you'll be able to tilt the entire rear clam up and out of the way. It's a one-person job and the process requires 2-3 minutes (or less) from beginning to end.!

Installation notes are found here : Support

Installation requires only basic hand tools. It will take the average do-it-yourselfer a full day and an extra set of hands to install. The kit provides everything you need to install. Our rear panel eliminator is powder coated black. It does not work with the stock exhaust, so this is a great time to upgrade to an aftermarket exhaust if you haven't already.

All components are coated with powder coat or anodizing for corrosion resistance. In addition each component was designed with CAD and made with CNC machinery for the highest quality and accuracy possible.

Part of the standard kit is a battery relocation tray, which accepts the Odyssey PC625 battery, which you can also purchase from us, here.

Exige Owners should note there are some additional considerations, such as removing the sidescoops, boot latch cable, and hardtop each time you want to tilt the clam.
