THe seller is notoriously bad at responding to emails..
I must have sent at least 5 messages to the seller just for a tracking #.

To make things even better, the tracking # is not valid at this time, because only the billing info has been transmitted. There hasn't been a physical scan on the package, meaning UPS doesn't have record of it at all!

So now I'm stuck waiting for yet another response, after a dozen or so messages inquiring about where my package is..

It took me about a week to get it. It took him about a week to respond to one of my emails too.

wow hopefully they take care of that soon. They had a very high percentage rate as a ebay seller and almost no negative feedbacks. I would give it a little bit of time, and see how it plays out. Sorry your transactions didn't go so smoothly as mine did.

Yep, that looks okay..

All ground wire kits are the same essentially.

OK,I got mine in,so do I need to remove some screws to install these wires,or are all the holes you used already empty.

eco · 11-04-2006, 02:41 AM

Ohya,and the sheet of paper manual says to ground the headlights,whats up with that.

ItsMyDaily · 11-04-2006, 10:43 AM

eco the area I mounted are areas which already have screws in place. Just remove them and put them back with the ground wire in place. The only place that does not have a screw in place is the location I chose on the transmission.

You can ground the headlights also as we discussed in another thread, I just chose not too. It doesn't matter if you do or if you don't. And remember you don't have to ground to every single place I did, you can choose to ground whatever you want.

so, I going to do a DIY ground kit... I was just going to buy some bulk 4 or 6 gauge car stereo wire in blue to match my theme, and all gold terminals. How much, do you supose should I buy of the bulk wire? I planned on using a gold junction block terminal, normally used for car stereo power wire. anyone have any better sugestions, or comments... Oh yeah there will be pictures for the whole thing...

i believe there is a difference between stereo wire & power wire... i could be wrong, but im pretty sure i was told that by an electrical engineer once...

not sure if it makes a diff on this or not...

If I'm right it basically hooks up to both the positive and negative terminals of the battery to better regulate and stabilize power. Not sure if it'll add increased performence, but might make electronics work better. Honestly it's considered by almost everyone in the automotive field as a bling item and nothing more. Never now though. If it's cheap then try it and let us now.

Im getting one,good price to.

I was hoping to do another mod this weekend and write up a DIY, but it looks like I may have to wait until next weekend aswell.
