    your engine bay looked so clean then you did that why??????? you could have just tapped out the stripped out holes and put bigger bolts. it would have been a little more expensive but at least then you wouldnt have rigged mounts. maybe im just being an asz but I think that is dumb

    I would go for sturdiness over aesthetics any day of the week.

    there is 3 bolts all in symmetrical points on the mounts how does it look rigged? its not like i just slapped bolts in random spots....worse case paint em black.....i dont think it made it look any sloppier, but to each their own opinion....but i wont call you an azz since you already did hahaha
