Default 07 z grounding kits?

I've been searching for the past several days (this forum, others like this, and even google) yet i see nothing for an 07. I am wondering if any other 07 + z/g drivers have a grounding kit for their vehicle and if they do can they post pictures of where the grounds are. After all...I don't want to just start running random wires all over my engine bay. Thanks for any help.

Best way to not run useless wired around your engine bay is DO NOT GET A GROUNDING KIT.

It is by far cheaper to make your own if you want one. I have one on my 03 and it made my stereo sound better IMO. I know this will be for an 07 but it should be simular or give you a general idea. http://www.z-xtreme.com/installation.html

Fwiw (not much) I've heard unconfirmed reports that it slightly benefits those with an auto transmission.

If you're going to put one on, at least make it yourself.

the majority of my job deals with wiring, so naturally i was hoping to make my own. As I had said before, I didn't want to just start running uber amounts of wiring through the engine bay when I would only "need" X amount of grounds.

And search provided this information to me...."it helps start up and electronics by providing a better and more complete circuit". From my work experience I can see how this could help, at the same time, the engine is already grounded out. How good of a ground..can't be TOO bad considering it runs fine. But I'm always looking for ways to improve and upgrade, saw a grounding kit, and figured it'd cost maybe 20 bucks for all the supplies. I just don't know the apropriate points is all.

Go to Stillen's website and download the instructions for their grounding kit and buy like 8-10 feet of wire.
