So, my connections are from the negative terminal to:
-Transmission
-Valve cover/Head
-Intake Manifold
-Power steering bracket (and then a connection to the frame from this point)
-Body (right beside battery, left strut tower area)

I think I also want to get a silver colored battery hold-down to match the terminals....The stock one looks kinda crappy...

Here goes:

It reminds me of Mcdonalds but that might be b/c I'm a big guy and I'm hungry.

I know, I'm working on getting rid of the yellow. :)

The only thing the grounding kit helped with is it seemd to smooth out my idle at lights, and prevents the brief 'dash-light dimming' when something kicks in like the fan, etc.

What kit did you buy? Or was it like amplifier grounding wires, mine look just like those.

I made my own, bought all the parst seperatley. The wiring is from an local audio shop, just regular low-resistance ground wire. 4 ga., and 8 ga.
