I can't tell from the angle but see the hole right below your top bolt mount? Will the ZZp mount line up with that and is there a spot above it where it may line up? I am going out to see if I have the holes for your mount.

man..., I actually got the mount from www.cobalt-addiction.com , but its made by ZZP..., (I didn't realize when I was buying that ZZP is right here in MI) Cobalt-addiction is based out of NY.
I hope cobalt-addiction will take it back... or exchange for the rear trans mount if it would fit....

hmm , me2, but your mount is completely different huh? so it looks like the ZZP mount would line up and fit on your car?
Edit: I see you have a SS/SC tho too.

Looks like the rear mount will bolt up, b/c there is 3 bolts under the car for the rear trans mount
Bottom view trans mount bolts:

Anyone know for sure?

uhh, don't really see anything on their site that would do me any good. Unless they would sell a rear poly filled trans mount seperately, looks like most of their stuff is for the SS too.
they need to talk to someone about a website upgrade/development also < no offence to them, just my opinion.

No, but you know what I thought about that, because it looks like the inserts would fit right in.... I'll have to check into that...

Here's a picture of my stock mount. It should give you some reference if you pull yours off. Intense and ZZP both have cheap poly inserts that are sold in pairs for transmission mounts. I think they are only like $80 for a set.
