the factory grounds really are terrible and corrode fast, not to mention they dont work well with a layer of paint inbetween.

If you sanded down the paint wouldnt it rust there?

ya it would, if youre really worried sand it down, attach the ground cables, then spray paint over the sanded area. id rather trade better electrical system for a little rust under the hood. the only ground point you'll see is the chassis. the radiator support is not even visible unless you bend your head in.

On the subject of Blondes and Redheads, I once had a brunette bombshell in my trunk, but the car exploded. I just now got all the damage fixed.

Everytime I get pulled over I tell the cop it's not my fault. It's my gas pedal grounding kit.

Anyone know how the APEXi Super Ground System compares to the HVS? Or should I just bust out the cash for the HVS-MR or GT?

i just ordered a HVS-GT and Hyper Ground System. can't wait to see how it works out on my car. i also want to upgrade my stock ground wires. i thought the hyper grounding system was a replacement for the stock ground wires but it's just an add on to your stock ground wires.

the apexi super ground system is actually comparable to the hvs except it also has some ground wires. its a knockoff basically. best way is upgrade stock wires and add the hvs-gt. no need for extra wires.

my battery is in my trunk.

I'm no wiring guru ... not sure how I'm supposed to ground my car with my battery back there.

its the same car. you can just put the ground from batt (-) to any chassis point near the battery.
