ive searched around some and i cant really find out how to install a grounding kit... i saw this guys grounding kit but where all do you connect the wires to?
im probably going to purchase one cause they look pretty cool (not this guys V ) but i wanted to know how to install the damn thing first
basically attach the base part to your ground terminal on the battery and just attach each individual wire anywhere you want as a body ground....
1 good place is on the engine block...so pull one of thescrews for the valve cover and attach it there....basically anywhere else you want that isnt gonna cause the wire to be in the way of any moving parts or cause any electrical interferance with anything else....
Honestly...you dont need it...just upgrade the main ground wire to a larger gauge and have a cleaner ground on the body and youll be just fine.
P.S. dont buy anything off ebay ....will mess your stuff up.
Dont get the one thats on that spec. Thats a cheap ebay nismo knockoff. It might work as well as the others, but it looks like crap. Get one that comes with like 4/5 wires that attaches to different points, and not one that simply goes from the negative terminal. The gains are negligible at best, so it might as well look decent, not like the one in the pic.

I dont totally agree with you. A lot of stuff on ebay is garbage, but overall, just use common sense and good judgement and you cant really go wrong. If its too good to be true, then it most likely is. Just be cautious.

Most stuff you shouldn't buy off of E-bay but grounding wires are just big speaker wires so it is gonna be the same quality as anything else. When you ground the wires though, don't ground it to the negative on the battery though, b/c then you just bough a bunch of good wires and grounded them all to the stock wire running from the battery to the chaise, wich is what you bought the kit to avoid. Instead follow the negative to where it grounds to the frame and ground it there, although any part of the frame will do.

so is more than 4-5 wires overkill or do you say 4-5 just so it looks clean? b/c i see alot of these with 7 wires and few with 4
btw ill post pics when i install it

You can have more than 5, but the usual kits from with 4/5, you dont really need more than that.
