Grounding wire kit -- help install!

Just purchased a set of grounding cables for my 1.3 i-DSI, could you guys give me some anchor points for the grounding kit. I'm baffled as have been searching the net and can't find anything.

Thanks all.

one end of course goes on the negative terminal of the battery. all the other points can connect to any bolt that is bolted to the car chassis or a group of ground wires that are connected to the body. there are no specific points you need to worry about.

Thanks for the tips. Do you find this helpful or honestly is it a waste of money? I've read on other general sites that it gives better throttle response, better mileage and lights don't blink when compressor kicks in. Am not really concerned about better mileage but really interested in the other 2 points.

it helps with electrical things mostly, but since the Fit is drive by wire, it should help more than cars with drive by cable. i've read a lot of good reviews on adding ground wires. its one of those mods that are good to have and cheap.

you can make it out of wire crimps and 8gauge stereo wire.
