What, like for an accessory? Just ground it to the metal part of the car - the car is negative-ground, meaning the positive side is "hot" and the circuit is competed by running the negative wire to either the frame or to the negative terminal of the battery.

The car is the ground, hence the wires connected to the chassis. By the tires contacting pavement, it provides the ground to an electrically inert object. Adding a "grounding kit" like what is sold on Ebay is a joke and accomplishes nothing but adding more connections that could fail. Save your money. However, if you want to ease your modding urge somewhat and just gotta have it, get some very nice stereo system power cable, such a a zero sized power cable and re-solder/replace the ground cables already present (if you can find them all). However, it is a waste of money and time and will not accomplish any difference. It is an old ricer gimmick that has been disproven many times over (similar to the Tornado air intake).
