I imagine it would be like the motor mount i think. He had me order a different part that was the price of a single mount. And in return shipped me what i wanted.

I really recommend the poly mount though, its much better than the flipped mount, i have yet to feel the shudder from the new mount also and its 30 degrees outside. With the mount the car seems to rocket off the line.

So i test drove a g8gt yesterday, i loved the interior, especially the seats. It was brand new with 51 miles on the od, white exterior with back and red interior. The quality was great. The performance though left me wanting more. The mighty 6.0l didnt seem to propel the car faster than my current gxp. Dont get me wrong i would love to have one but the performance wasnt worth the extra $$$ imo.
