Well I unfortunately had to get mine from dealer since there was no aftermarket option that I could find. Got mine for $115... Ouch. But it made a world of difference. Clunking all gone!!
Did you put them in yourself, or get a shop to do it? I'm about to practically steal a 92 5spd that needs new mounts because nobody wants to buy it because of the vibration in it.

Yes I did. It was not a bad deal but a little rough on my forearms. A little tight getting to the back two of the four studs on the engine bracket. It took about 2 hours tops to swap out. But it was needed and worth it. Made shifting and braking a better experience.
Alright sounds good. The Lexus dealer made it sound like it was a VERY complicated job and took a long time. If worst comes to worst and a dealer needs to work on it I'll go to the Toyota dealership. I'll probably go there to buy the mounts in the first place since they probably have less of a markup than the Lex dealership does.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll get this car.
If I do my plans are:
1 - Motor Mounts
2 - New Leather Interior (leatherseats.com or katzkin.com)
3 - Window Tint
4 - Find some custom sub boxes.
BTW, the other thing I noticed was the AirBag light was on, doesn't look like its hard to clear from reading posts but does clearing the light mean the airbag is active again? Also the 2 side covers on the steering wheel are missing...does that mean the airbag has been deployed at one time? It has an airbag in it right now...or at least I hope it does, it guess it could just be a cover which would explain the light. I'll see if I can find out more on it tomorrow.
I doubt it will affect my decision to buy it because the price he told me is so cheap I could get all that fixed for what another local SC would cost me, plus the one I fixed up would be a lot nicer. so excited!!!!
