well the quality is good... the motor mount bushings are $50 each by themselves... and the axles are new and custom length, and they are the only ones currently on the market who make the bolt-on brackets...

Looks pretty cool! This setup moves everything over, more or less in the middle of the engine bay it looks, much better clearance on the front of the engine.  As far as the cost goes...if you look at how much a good set of VF Engineering mounts go for ($500) it's really not that bad.

They seem to have some reasonably priced exterior stuff for a MK1.
@Russ, they have a badgeless MK2 grill in their clerance section - will that fit the desel?
