The entire unibody is a grounding point. Scrape away the paint to bare metal, apply vaseline to prevent rust, attach ground wires.

Are you talking about the Big 3? I've never used the grounding kits, those aren't nearly as good as the big 3. Just use 0 gauge wiring and do the big 3 loop (battery positive to alternator positive, battery negative to chassis/frame ground, and same chassis/frame ground point to engine block ground).



Make sure you do the frame/chassis, not a body sheet metal panel. And for the engine ground you can use the alternator bolt. Or I saw that on my 01 there's a nice little bracket near the front of the valve cover, that would work too. This will yield MUCH better results than the 4-8 gauge ground kits out there. Usually cheaper too since you only need maybe 8-10ft of 0 gauge wiring and a few 0gauge o-ring terminals.

I always like to link all the grounds together with copper. Over time the body grounding that Asian cars use will cause problems with rust. At least that's my experience. Only ground I have left to do like this is a #4 wire to the transmission to battery ground wire.
