Here's the shock mount on my car (I realize this is the front....). I like the design - it's a continuous piece, both in length from left side of the car to the right side, and is a boxed design without welds (not open on any side). It may not look it from the pic but it is very thick walled stainless steel...it's BEEFY! Not going to win any awards for lightness. Just thought it might be interesting to see this type of mount.
