Sorry for the previous accusations that your bargain shopping wasn't intelligent. But you got ripped off. Here are mounts for $12.44 and they are just as good...
There is a lot of bad advise in this thread. Sadly it is worshiped as the gospel.
I got to 14K posts learning the car and designing parts and systems for it. Working with vendors on designs and installs. Documenting and posting real world engineering. Too bad the double standards at the VCA...
There's a reason that there are a few Woodhouse mount failures documented. They are more popular and more widely used. Um, make that abused, as in track cars and race cars. On the other hand, the cheap mounts are the ones people stay away from or they simply fit in the street poser niche.
From that pic the hood appears to aligned well with the door, short of the gap issue. The door either needs to go back, or the hood forward. Moving the door back is easier possibly, but if the gap and fit on the latch end of the door is already good (is it...?) then what's left is the hood...
Having looked at your pic again the hood looks low in the door interface area. Raising it at that area would increase the gap you are needing to adjust. That is a fairly simple adjustment but before I would say get after it those other pics I mentioned would be very useful to ensure fixing...
What, turns you into a douchebag? Since you know nothing about this subject could you go play with your easy bake oven while the men post on the Viper forum?
No, no, but you can't talk to the person next to you at WOT. It rattles the dishes in the cabinets in the other end of the house when the car is idling in the garage. Not sure why anyone would want louder. My ears ring after a few stop signs or traffic lights on party drives.
Unless your door is out of adjustment on the other end where the latches are, and assuming you don't want to needlessly become a master body alignment expert on fixing said latch end of the door, I would ensure first that the placement of the hood on the vehicle chassis is correct. Has the car...
1 of 1 color combo means squat unless you care. I don't care how many they made, but if you do, factor that in to your perceived value.
The car likely needs a host of maintenance items regardless of the misinformed owner saying it hasn't "needed' anything.
Having been wrecked, regardless...
Belanger headers, Random ceramic cats, Magnaflow muffler.
LOUD, but not mind bending loud. Although I did have one chick tell me it's the loudest car she'd even been in lol.

Or get the blue one and be like all the other smurf cars that think they are badass because they read it on the internet :rolleyes:
Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!!
As is everything else that has been said about the value and desirability of these cars. Apparently, that blue / white is not that killer of a deal if it's still for sale :rolleyes:
Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!!
I'll give $2 for the blue GTS. $1 for the Gallardo.
Now, all of a sudden, simply because I posted what I did, which that is now printed fact, a used blue GTS is worth double what a used Gallardo is.
Isn't...
This. I use the AZ in my Super Duty and have had awesome luck. Have used several Interstates in my GTS and have not been pleased with longevity. I will be switching to the AZ for it soon.
Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!!
Blue with white stripes are not rare and the actual facts acknowledge that. It is amazing the mentality of a "shopper." They figure value based on hype, and assume investment planning based on hype. Ask...
