well, I made my own yesterday. fabbed a steel bracket that connects to the nagative battery terminal. I am using 4 gauge stereo-style ground wire. I am connecting the grounds to the rear firewall next to the ECU, the starter, a ground point next to the throttlebody, the alternator bracket, and the radiator support. The cost? 0 dollars. It was made using wire I had left over from previous stereo instalations, and the bracket was made from scrapmetal I had laying around. It probbly is not as pretty as some of the grounding kits I have seen, but I blacked out the bracket and stashed it on the side of the battery housing and I hid the wires so they wont be seen.
P.S. and yes, I count my pennies, I am poor, hence why now I drive a Yaris EDIT: I am still on the fence about it helping my engine have hotter spark, but, I figure it is good since I have a stereo system and the added grounds will help my starter and alternator last longer.
