It is a pain but doable. Just take your time and take the alternator and A/C off. You will be fine.

Well... the motor mounts are done... thanks to G-Force... Glad I didn't do it after all... my car is always the worst... and this time they said it was a pain in the A like always... My car doesn't like getting worked on I think.

Jeez, after hearing all of the negatives about doing this, I'm starting to think I'm just gonna pass on it tomorrow when I put in the headers and exhaust. How much did the shops that you guys took them to charge?

If you're doing headers, I'd go ahead and swap the mounts. It'll be much worse to do them after the headers are in, and much easier when the stock manifolds and exhaust are out.

G-Force may not want me to post their price because they hate doing them... but they were less than 500 for sure... I wish I would have done them when they did me headers... then they would have hardly cost anything...
