After a bit of work trying to piece together a full set of hollow spoke TTs, including the 8" fronts, I've finally gotten them refinished and installed. The car originally came with color-matched Cup2 wheels but they've seen better days and need to be refinished. Not ready to do a euro bumper install yet so I'll probably hold off on having them refinished until I'm ready and can have everything painted at the same time.

Replaced my sunroof wind deflector hinges. One broke but went with both new ones. Took five min per side. Back working perfect.

The hole your work light is resting in. Any idea what the purpose of that is?

I've tried looking as well and haven't found anything. Maybe leftover structure from an older model?

With so many people moving to solid or semi-solid engine mounts, how many are upgrading their engine carriers? I remember a recent thread on a mangled one and was wondering how others were faring.

My two cents - I've read all I can on this and I'm under the impression one is fairly safe with the RS mounts and OE carrier as long as you aren't also adding a lot of HP. I have the RS mounts, normal motor and only street drive the car so I'm not too concerned.

In my case, my stock engine carrier was toast due to stock motor mounts that had exceeded their lifespan and completely leaked/sagged. So if you think about that scenario, you now have your engine hanging off rear mounts that are essentially flopping around. Every hard acceleration, hard brake, hard cornering is essentially "throwing" the motor around back there and slowly bending/cracking the engine carrier.
I'd bet that an engine carrier which is in good condition (not already failing due to above scenario) which is mated to RS mounts for spirited street driving will be fine. With everything nice and snug, there will be less flexing of the carrier. I'd be more concerned about solid mounts or semi-solid (RS style) for track usage.
BTW @red64chevelle are those the URO brand RS mounts or some other brand?
