All kidding aside, it looks decent enough.
Yea I know it looks funny with silicone showing like that. I can scrape the excess rtv in 1 min so it wouldn't be showing but yet I havent done that. It has no effect of performance.

ok but the pin that holds the adjustable link to the base and the motor mount looks weak. From the pics it looks like it might not hold together all that long.

how much more vibration are you feeling in the cabin now?

To be honest not much vibration at all. Very little added. I can feel it more when I shift hard but in a good way. I had nwp torque link on my 02 back in a day so I know how it feels and this one feels exactly the same.
As far as pins, I don't think pix do the justice. The key is that you can make your pins as thick as you want. It's tight on there and I will take 50 times the force and load its under to brake it.

Why so much work when one can simply make (or buy) Metal Front/Rear engine mounts??

What do you mean metal mounts? Weld them solid? I thought about it but figured there will be too much vibration and a little too much stress on the motor
