RE: Finally installed my ground wires!!
They're the ebay specials! hehe....just do a search for em....they're everywhere.
Installation was done mainly by Joe (sillypuddy)....I'll keep you just posted on the gas milage thing too.....that would be kick *** if THAT went up!!

The kit itself didn't come with any instructions, just a stupid diagram.
I did the install in about 1.5 hours, the circle part that all the wires hook up to took the longest (about 40 minutes) because the entire assembly is threaded, so we had to reinstall it a few times to get the correct "position"
the stock battery lead also was overtighten by the dealer (me and daddymac got our cars from the same dealer) and it was a biatch to get off.
overall the kit, considering it's an ebay special and cost way less than a real Hyper Grounding Kit, is a good upgrade on a budget. The wire size was about half the Hyper Ground ones and the crimps connectors were a little thin (the O connectors were easily bendable using my fingers, compare to the Hyper Ground ones that needed a big pair of pliers)
ease of install: 4 out of 10
bang for the buck: 6.5 out of 10
construction: 6 out of 10
bling factor: 9 out of 10

As for the idle stabilization and window going faster, I can confirm it from one of my dsm friend who bought one. It also stabilizes your headlight output after using AC (usually dims a bit w/o a ground kit).
Then again, I could do my own using an 8-gauge wire from any stereo shop and crimp two terminals grounding from the battery to car. It worked the same w/o all the multi wire grounding points mess.
