now I've decided to order a tool kit
My tool kit was missing, so I tried to devise my own consisting of a $17 Sears Craftsman 58 piece set ($7 off the sale price, they email me "surprise points." One time I literally had enough points to get a free Channellock and free miniature screwdrivers costing $30, never understood it. Even though I have every wrench under the sun at home (including full polish S*K's), I bought a 8 pc metric for $9.99 that I could leave in the car. Boy has the quality gone down on Craftsman.) Anyway, the kit doesn't even come close to fitting into the slot. My buddy said c'mon now, you're getting the build sheet, original brochures, manuals, why not just get that original tool kit for the car, despite it not being useful? Keep it all original. So I took his advice!

tool kits are stolen from cars at auctions and bad used car lots and sold on ebay. maybe you can buy your own back if you look. also floor mats and owners maunals I believe. I have bought floor mats and a trunk mat before I learned this. I saw a tool kit bid start at $30 and end up about $70.

yep....the price was $45....I got some of those charcoal mats in the OEM bag for $41--I do have ivory mats which are very worn, I don't mind charcoal to save a few $$$$.....if "removed" in the used car pipeline, it's interesting that they don't remove the spare tire with OEM 18" rim....that would seem to be of more value....mine is virtually unused, I thought it was brand new as you still see the red and yellow dots on the sidewall, and the rim is mint. but there were tiny pebbles in the tread....
