Those are my choices.
Can anyone give me a reason not to get the Kobalt tool set from Lowes? Best value for the size of the set, and have a lifetime warranty.....
Thoughts?

As for the floor vents, it's been done on CF and JF, but even I think it looks terrible.

Swapping hoods sounds like a HUGE bandaid.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face. Hood vents DO NOTHING to keep your ENGINE OPERATING TEMP down....they only alleviate underhood temps. The advantages are that rubber and plastic parts will last longer, heat soak is helped, and the air under the hood will be a LITTLE cooler in the intake.
NOTHING ELSE....it is the wrong thing to do to fix an issue you see on your temperature GAUGE.

Did some research. Kobalt used to be made by JH Williams (Snap On was too) but are now made by Danahar, which is the same company as makes Craftsman, and the warranty is the same.
So...when choosing between Craftsman and Kobalt...they are the same thing.
So....gonna go with the Kobalt.
