What did I just get from Powell Racing?

To me this just looks like the $50 factory replacement front transmission mount. Am I wrong?

What's with the white part? I'm assuming that part on your mount is a different material then mine.
What are some of the other markings and print on your piece?

UPDATE-

Got all the 411 over at Cobaltssnet where John from Powell hangs out.

What I got is a stock mount with pressed in bushings and plate, it's exactly what I wanted. I was just concerned I got the wrong part and have verified I got the right part.

Yup. Basically a control arm bushing installed into the stock transmission mount bracket with a slightly different offset. When you get under your car you'll see how mushy the stocker is. This mount will help keep your drivetrain in one piece.

Yup, the idea is the off center bushing will rotate the entire engine/trans to be more in line with the wheels to prevent wheel hop. With the manual trans, the driveshafts are not lined up as well from the factory.
