Finally got around to installing my prothane motor mount for the front. Reason I haven't done it, is cause it's for an AWD so it mounts differently and same for the rear mount.

Here is what I did. I'll let the pics do the talking.

I did the same thing with the rear. I also put my stock mounts back in on the sides. My car shakes so horribly I couldn't stand it anymore. Front and rear is all you really need so I'm hoping the car doesnt rattle my teeth anymore!

I got my L19's in the mail today too! :banana:

Ummmm.....I was able to change mine out from fwd to awd in my garage. A little over-kill? lol


If it works, it's all the same. Just hope the welds don't break under all that powah. :D

Not sure how you were able to mount them. You can see the mounting points are completely different. The rear mount was also a lot taller or shorter. Cant remember which..

No, the insert. I was able to change the insert from the fwd metal mounts to the awd metal mounts. I had to use a saw to get the old rubber insert out, but the poly inserts should go in by hand.

Ohh I see. I didnt want to deal with any of that BS so I just cut and welded haha. My rear mount has been in the car like that for the past year and it's fine.

Ordered a timing belt and BS eliminator kit from partsdinosaur this morning. Also an intake heat barrier gasket and front case gasket from MAP.

Yeah I've heard nothing but good feedback about that site.

I've been rolling around with a black bumper on my car cause the old one no longer works with the new front mount. Finally had some time to paint it today since it was so nice out. I used a can of spray paint mixed for my color code from carquest once again. It turned out really well.

Here are some crappy cell phone pics.

Hopefully that bumper will match good. Paint looks good though!

I put it up close to the car and it looks pretty close. Same paint I used on the firewall. Either way it's better then a black/grey bumper!
