junk yard here I come...find some hood vents that won't look to bad and when I get ready to pain the jeep I'll install em and paint em to match the car.. My friend put a set on his and they did help with cooling..only issue was water gets in the engine bay when it rains but as long as they aren't over anything like the ignition,plugs and what not shouldn't be an issue..

I have a write-up on my site about installing a set of Pontiac Sunbird hood vents. It was a pretty easy job and looks pretty good IMHO.

Looks like this now:


Go check out the write up, there is a link at the bottom of the page to the whole photo set of the process.

Of the list of projects you have, hood vents would be the cheapest.
