mine's clean in the sense that it's not cluttered, but not in the sense that it's been scrubbed down.
my next project is to use probably some dryer hose to loop under the hot side intercooler charge pipe and get the filter out from behind the radiator. I also have COPS to install. I'm also going to go make a list, cause you guys are giving me lots of ideas.

No, low on the frame is not preferable. Mine worked great, and wasn't even as well designed as Splitime's. It worked even better than the damn-near-solid MMR mounts I had, and didn't transmit as much vibration to the chassis (massive understatement).
Think about the rotation of the engine. The head is much further from the crankshaft's centerline than the location of the engine mounts.

This setup makes no sense from the point of view of being effective.
The engine doesn't just shift to the right, it actually raises itself from the torque and that is where the strap, the way it is, does absolutely nothing.

Have you watched a car like ours on the dyno recently? The Majority of movement is rotation towards the passenger side.
I'm done... it works and was cheap. It isn't even on the car anymore, it was just to help isolate a vibration, which it didn't do. It DID minimize motor movement though.

It's actually bolted in now and fit where it should be. Exhaust is done all the way to the diff and I hope to finish that this weekend. Then I just need to redo some brake lines that I bent to **** and do some temp wiring (OBDII port for troubleshooting and temp ECU mount) to get it running before I put the dash back in.
Gotta get it done soon as the weather is turning, golf season is close, and I need to get to the course FAST.

holy **** that looks awesome. I have a love hate deal with all my sheetmetal. Sure the heat shielding looks cool and its effective, but I'd ratehr have nothing else under the hood sometimes.

Not my car, but while it's paint was being ruined beyond recognition I added some go fast parts to it:
Couple intercoolers, an extra AC condensor, badass never before seen triple exhuast, super roof downforce trans am spoiler. There's a turbo above the box that says "Nic" on it that should have gotten thrown on for more fastness not hit block coolness
Behold the awesome mess that is my garage:
