I decided to make my own grounding kit for my Trix. I made the battery mount and plate at work. A few pics of that.   The main body is made from 6061 aluminum and the bolts and hardware are 316 stainless steel. I think it turned out ok. What you guys and gals think? |

Will be installing kit today. All wire ends will be crimped and soldered then covered in shrink tube. As far as locations go I have a good idea of where to put the grounds from previous forums and I will be a little inventive as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Honestly, I would not like it because there would be too many wires going everywhere.

Actually most of the wires are hidden only a few are visible and if I was more meticulous I could have hidden all of them.

I shall but for the moment I am waiting on the DC Sports strut bar and the Cosmo short air intake. I will defiantly take some picks when that is done. I left a little play in some of the wires in anticipation of the two comming.

Already added a Sony head unit, replaced the 4 door speakers with 4-6.5 inch 3 way and added a 10 inch sub with a 300 watt amp. Nothing super duty I am an old fart eh LOL. Did the underseat cathodes and the driving lights too. Graphics package and rear Texas DAR spoiler. Wanting the B magic body kit now too.

I will probably do the rear sway bar first though. Then the body kit. Then the new springs and wheels and tires. By that time the warranty will be piddling out and I can go to work on the engine.

Nice! I am putting new dropsprings and front and rear sway bars in the next couple of weeks or so. I can not wait to do it!
