My engine mounts are shot but I don't notice any vibration or anything. My trans mounts are destroyed and causing a clunk.

At your mileage I would replace them. Rubber gets old and cracks. Then the mounts leak out the fluid inside of them and break apart.

As far as trans mounts, old ones will be squashed when you look at them. That results in the transmission sitting at an angle.

100k is what I would run on mounts. I did it on both of my zhps and noticed that they were already asking to be replaced. With the OE M3 engine and trans mounts, the car is much nicer to drive. Engine moves less and the shifter from the stiffer mounts feels much better at least to me.

Sure thing. It wasn't bad to replace them.

After seeing so many pictures on here I have noticed that most people have the non-projector fog lights. Is this for looks or just the way they were bought? I have projector fogs and like the way they look plus they have a nice light out put

They came with just reflector type housings. My PO installed projectors but I went back for the OEM look. Plus in my case the projector output was pretty poor.

Ok, so all ZHP's came with reflector housings?
