Looking to order a cowl hood and motor mounts for my V!

CS gray motor mounts are good but if you have headers wrap them with header wrap or they will melt and bubble. The CS gray trans mount made my short throw shifter hit the driveshaft donut bolts and it caused vibrations so I'm using a new stock mount and I'm happy with it.
I've torn through two CS diff mounts, now I'm making my own. The CS diff mounts are probably fine for stock power levels.

Laygo... Congrats man. Saw your thread about the hail damage. Sorry to hear that!!!
Biggie... We are on the same page. For that reason, im almost willing to go EC and deal with no window squirters... lol

The squirters was the deal breaker for me. I do too much daily driving to go w/o being able to clean the windshield. I like the EC with cowl/vent, especially for the price compared to SW, but I had to have those squirters.

I think I'm gonna go EC. More aggressive to me which is what I want and I'll either leave the squirters off or have the paint/body shop mount em for me.

Well, this is an insurance deal. Insurance is paying for a certain amount of work on the hood & it doesn't include drilling/mounting squirters. I'm already forking over a lot of moola for this car that I've "owned" since 4/9, but have only driven for 5wks!

That would be nice. I may just leave them off. I think I've used my squirters just a handful of times and I've owned the car for a year and a half now. Lol

I don't think the cost to mount squirters would be over the top. Typical shop labor time is 40/hour. I can't imagine it taking more than two hours.
I've had my car for a month as of the 15th and had someone back into my front bumper on the 9th. I know the feeling.
I'm taking advantage of this and having the hood refinished and the grille PC'd.

WUTFUX? I called the body shop today & SW is saying 2 weeks before the hood is available. I just called EC, if they have one available, I'm canceling the SW order & getting the vented cowl from EC.

I have this hood, and it looks really good, but one thing I will mention, be prepared to spend a decent amount of money on prep, and paint for the hood. I did the vents and it was an extra $250 just to fit the vents in properly, and make it look good, than add more for paint as well.
Here are a few pics I've taken with my phone.

From what i understand, i think it comes with the vents covered but they are there. U can choose to paint the hood and run it without the vents as a basic cowl or have the vents made functional like the ones in the pic on the red car.
