If your cars is in good shape you are not going to gain diddly squat from this product.

why do you even want a grounding kit, are you have problems with the electronics?

these really won't do anyting for our cars other then make the engine bay look pretty. I never planed on buying one myself, but I was given one as a gift. The only reason I put it on was because they were red wires. Ebay stuff is pretty cheap, but if your gann buy ground wires then it's better to get ebay stuff rather then a known company which costs around $100+. There all going to work the same anyway.

I'll be making my own sometime in the next year, mainly to just handle that grounding issue forever and because I can get the supplies for nearly nothing (friends at different car audio shops). I'll see it as a mainly cosmetic modification, I can clean up the wiring and run it where I want as well as sleeve it nicely to blend with stock. My friend did his 350z and it looks amazing. Subtle and stockish.

the chance of you gaining 2hp from a grounding kit is about the same as the chance of you gaining 2hp by adding a spoiler.

I dont think alot of wires going everywhere under the hood would make it pretty, but I guess everyone has different taste
