Set Your Ride Apart from the Rest with Hot Rod Innovations

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes a company that sets the performance aftermarket products world on its proverbial ear. Hot Rod Innovations makes some ingenious products—like a throttle return spring kit that’s guaranteed to close your throttle no matter what and a slide-away steering column that allows you to easily enter and exit your car. 

These cutting-edge Hot Rod Innovations products are now in stock at Summit Racing Equipment:

Grille Insert for 1969-72 Chevy Blazer and C10 Pickup
If you’re a truck guy, then you already know that the 1967-72 Chevy CST trucks are among the hottest around. The only downside is that Chevy followed-up the awesome 1967-68 grille design with, to put it kindly, a grille that’s much less awesome for 1969-72. Worse, Chevy also changed the hood, fenders, and bumper so you just can’t bolt-in the good-looking grille. For the past 50 years, your only choice was to keep the ugly duckling grille or swap over the entire front clip from a 1967-68 truck. 

Until now. With the Hot Rod Innovations C10 Grille Insert, now everyone can have the look of the 1967-68 front end. The kit uses a new sheetmetal grille unit with a separate perforated backer and real honest-to-goodness USA-made billet aluminum trim (no cheapie stamped stuff here). New factory-style plastic installation clips are included for mounting. 

C10 Hideaway Headlight and Grille Kits
We can all agree that Chevy knocked it out of the park with the hideaway headlights included on the first generation Camaro RS. Too bad Chevy never offered them on their trucks—but could you imagine if they did? The brains at Hot Rod Innovations could, and they set about making it into reality. The Hideaway Headlight Kit for 1969-72 C10 comes with everything you need, including:

• 12 V headlight buckets
• Headlight doors with motors
• Sheet metal pans to mount the headlight bucket assemblies
• Billet aluminum trim
• Stainless steel hardware
• Mounting templates
• Complete plug-and-play wiring harness with control box

Easy Entry Slide Away Steering Kits
Finally, the answer to getting in and out of cars with tight interiors! The Easy Entry Slide Away Steering Kit features a motorized slide rail steering column mount that automatically pivots the steering wheel out of your way as soon as the door is opened for easier access to the driver’s seat. Close the door and the steering returns to its normal position. When you open the door to step out, the process is repeated. Hot Rod Innovations designed this as a universal kit so it can be installed in almost any vehicle. 

Throttle Return Spring Kits
Coilover shocks for your throttle linkage? Thanks to Hot Rod Innovations, you betcha! These clever Throttle Return Spring Kits use a specially designed spring mounted in compression and captured on a mini coilover shock absorber body. In the unlikely event that the spring breaks, the shock will still be able close the throttle. We call that a huge step forward in safety. Unlike other designs, the spring tension can easily be adjusted to add or remove preload. Simply spin the adjuster on the shock body—just like a full-size coilover shock. All of the mounting bracketry is made from lightweight and durable 6061 billet aluminum and is available in your choice of clear or black anodized finish.
