Nice! Looks like you need new engine mounts? Those tails are hanging pretty low from the bumper.

Thanks Nick, never noticed, good eye. Since I have no idea of what's involved I'll have to research... Ralph

That's always the risk of posting rear pics of your car....not always mounts - if there's any exhaust work been done and/or engine out the reset may not have been perfect.

So true. Never paid much attention to my exhaust tips. Had Darin Fister install new exhaust (by the way, sounds great) where he had the tips set perfect with bumper. at around 55K miles, decided to put on new motor mounts (easy DIY). When lifting motor back up into new mounts, found that tips now hit the bumper. Had to readjust the pipes. So Yes, you never know if previous work on exhaust has caused a unusual gap at bumper (although in my case the mounts were in need of replacement)

Good points. I'm thinking that the relatively low cost of new mounts installed is worth the effort on my 04 with 80+ miles. As far as I know the engine has never been out of the car nor has any exhaust work been done. Stock, the way I like it! Ralph

He's probably right, I did mine this season. $120 for Rein (OEM supplier) replacements. There are a few threads that cover the details. Very easy DIY.

Thanks Viper and Tony. I found them on Amazon for 57.25 Prime x2 so will order tomorrow and have them installed late this coming week. I don't have a low profile jack so that makes a DIY out for me but that's ok...
