yea, but should i attach the provided terminal clamp and then attach to any random grounding areas?? or are there specific areas to ground with?? or would it be better to find factory ground wires and replace them with the aftermarket ones??

lol
depends on the quality of the terminal clamps. what are they made of????
BTW, stick with oem grounding areas. normally there just a bolt with a fish eye. if your looking for a good tip. get a metal brush, when you remove the bolts, and clean the mating surface of the bolt, and the body. rust tends to build, causeing resistance. if you are REALLY serious about low resistance in your car, get a digital multimeter, and check your work.

Unless you have a multi-tester and know how to use it, I wouldn't proceed with the installation. How strong is your understanding of electrical current?
