AFtermarket Motor Mounts
just take the stock ones out tape one side off and use some 3m weatherstrip molding goo and fill it up. Then let it sit for a couple of hours and you got yourself a cheap alt. to buying mounts. If you're gonna buy mounts I personally suggest AVID
Buy some real mounts if you think you need mounts.
There is one other option:
Find a place that does mount filling with a core swap. I used to do that a few years ago; I made a set of molds each for Civic and Teg mounts. Carve out the stock rubber, drop the mount in the mold, and fill with 2 part urethane that is made for that purpose (motor and engine mounts, vibration snubbers, etc). I think I used shore D 80 or 85 durometer but I don't remember. I bought a set of mounts from a friend and started doing it on a core swap basis, so I give you a set of mounts and you give me your old ones, which I'd sandblast and paint. I don't do it anymore, because the urethane has a shelf life of a few months and has to be bought in minimum quantities of around 4 gallons at $150/gallon. I did some shore D 90 mounts too, which were a pretty orange urethane but would rip your fillings out. Pretty much race only, which is what I made them for (not for me, but for a few choice clients)..
Anyway, I seem to remember that there were some other people doing pretty much the same thing that I saw on the 'net in my travels.

My friend made me some mounts. I don't know what he used, but they lasted for a while.
My car hit a tree going 90 and it ripped the mounting tab off the car and ripped the bracket off the motor. Mounts were still good. It bent the rear t-bracket and the rear motor mount was fine.
It was amazing.
And to think, all I spent was 30 bucks on it all.
