Grounding Kit

Grounding Kit
Hey. I've decided to make myself a ground kit for the VE. But I had a few questions to people that have already installed them.
I checked BlehmCo to check specific grounding points for the VE and I came up with:
Are these optimal grounding points? And is 8 gauge good to use, or should I run 4 gauge for all wires?
If anyone has any pictures, insight, tips or suggestions... I'm open to them.
Thanks In Advance.

From the factory they use ~16-18 gauge, so 8 is more than enough for the sensors, only the big 3 need thicker wires.
Look around for factory grounding points and start cutting wires, that is how i did it.

you can always try and do the "big three" DIY grounding. It only grounds the three most important grounding points, and I think some of them use 0AWG(don't remember exactly, you can search for it and find out), but there aren't as many as in the blehmco grounding kit. People swear by it though.

I believe his is a knock off of your design. You know MrGone doesn't have any original ideas...
