TSW poly engine mount pic?

Could someone who has the TSW poly engine mount in their 04-06 MCS post a pic of it mounted on the car?

Thanks

If no one else comes up with one, I'll snap you a pic tomorrow when I get my car back from the dealership.

cesare I recommend you install some lower bushings while you're doing this install, and a reduction pulley if you don't have one already. The TSW poly mount and yellow powerflex bushings w/ mini madness smaller bushing on the lower engine mount, the car feels unbelievably better. Hands down. And that was before they had set in. I cannot wait until the vibration settles.

I agree, you might find the lower already starting to crack/tear if your upper has gone bad (mine was). You can install the bushings in your lower OE mount regardless or get the BSH lower mount......makes the car feel MUCH more solid.

and to note you'll love the way the car feels afterwards. shifts are much more crisp and smooth; no drivetrain rocking.

Yeah, i'll be doing the lower mount as soon as i can for sure. The stock upper is OK, but just doing it as a preventative measure as i know the power will kill it at some point. The stock upper mount on my last MCS went south at only 10k miles, but it was making over 200hp.
