I picked a silver one up from SE today, got home and did the install. Took about 20min or so. Would have been faster, but I had trouble getting the rear cross member bolt lined up. Overall, installation is extremely easy --> 2 front cross member bolts, 1 bolt rear, 3 bolts for front tie bar, 1 bolt going through the mount.
For those of you wanting to do it yourself, you'll need 17mm and 14mm sockets.
Impressions:
Starting the car, it does sound totally different. Not really better or worse, just different. I don't know how to explain the difference in sound, you just have to hear it yourself.
Increase in cabin vibration is minimal, and no audible vibration is present. The extra vibration is only noticeable at idle and most of it seems to be felt through the steering wheel. When my hand was off the steering wheel, I did not really notice the increase in vibration.
Shifting feel is definitely improved. Historically, I won't claim to be a great heel-toer, though my downshifts are good at least. With the mount installed, upshifts and downshifts are smoother, and heel-toe is easier as well. The major thing I noticed was the much easier 1st-2nd upshift.
Overall, you guys will really like this mod. It's definitely worth the "steal-me-now" price that Speed Element has set for these. Thank you SE!

Installed the Blox front engine mount from Speed Element a couple of days ago. Here is my quick review.
Pros: Improved shifting feel (smoother/crisper feel), slight change in engine tone during start up, novice installation, low price
Cons: Very Minor vibration can be felt at idle while gripping the steering wheel
Overall: Great mod for the price. WOT shifts feel nice and crisp. I would recommend the Blox lower front engine mount to any Evo owner. It's a very low price mod yet very effective.
