I do not have a grounding kit, but from what I've read from folks that do.....you can expect your windows to go up and down considerably faster than before......and that's about it.

Also your engine bay will be more colorful! Not sold on this mod at all. I thought about it but not worth it unless your car is 10+ years old and the wiring is starting to break down.

I installed one of these that a member here sells, I didn't notice any difference at all. Just piece of mind that the car has more grounds then before, that's probably it

Most automotive electrical systems are designed with adequate ground wires. Unless those wires get corroded or damaged there is generally no benefit to adding grounds.

If you add an aftermarket amp or other electrical device that requires a lot of current make sure you ground that device properly.

Obliviously, adding the grounding kits did make some things better, You all have to realize that what you see in front of you doesn't mean, the back end of things isn't working smoother, what it does for your electrical system. It seems that there are too many people read too much into the folks who purchased the grounding kit and their experiences. It is 100.00 bucks, it is not a huge loss and a piece of mind. Alot of the ground point in a car you do not ever get to see.

I doubt it will increase your fuel mileage, as most of them claim, but it will improve some things that you will notice and other things that you probably will not notice.
