[s-cars] Blown strut mounts

[Matthew Russell]

# 34 is what I'm missing I think, along with the bumper which sits  
below it. My dust boot is also gone.

Wonder if there used to be Bilsteins on this car before the PO  
installed new oem struts with the s6+ springs?

Funny you mention the hood, Mark. I just installed a new-to-me hood  
cause my old one was dimpled! But the PO said he'd bought it that way?

Hmmm

Mmmmmm...iPhone
