Quick/Easy Question: Are my motor mounts stock The owner before me replaced the motor and tranny mounts 3 years ago i believe. I had a file containing everything on the car but since i move a lot it must have gotten tossed accidentally which really sucks because i'm really particular, but it may show up. 
Anyways, I believe it said poly, but im not sure.. I'm about to do headers and so i'm trying to figure out if i really need to put them in or not because i don't have an engine lift. Please look at the picture and tell me what you think. (Btw, its a DD so it's dirty and kind of hard to tell). Also, on the other side which is really hard to see, i believe i can see a couple of tiny cracks, but its hard to tell. Motor shakes just a little bit too when running but i figured it's always gonna shake a little bit..
IMO, they look stock, but since a shop did it they could have just used OEM parts, which if 3 years old should i still replace? Thanks guys!

Oh yeah i didn't notice that ill have to take a closer look thanks!
Another question, can i replace motor mounts without and engine hoist? I figured i may be able to use a jack from the bottom or something like that..

Confirmed, just found a thread about using jacks thanks!
The pic looks like it is breaking but it's a bit of an illusion, if you turn you head to the left you see that little piece goes up. Pretty deceiving but a closer look took care of that.
I saw some signs of bolt wear and also these rubber pieces have those orange lines on the outside. As far as i could tell (i could see in pretty well, they appear to be fine). The question now is how long should they last?
