dont got a pic, but its really easy for this car, i ran it from the corner of the engine , theres a bolt directly on the egine right there holding down something, than i ran that to the stock ground bolt on the tire well, and back to the battery from there.

I more or less was looking for pictures of where people ran the three wires. That write up it good but doesn't really show where the wires are and or where to run the new ones.

Well, if you read this post and then go take a look in your engine bay you'll understand how I did mine. I don't have any pics but if you go look at your engine bay you'll understand clearly.

It's always quicker/easier/safer to simply add the upgraded wires instead of replacing the existing wires. In this case, more = better.

As for where to run the wires.....

The battery is grounded to the chassis, follow the ground wire from the battery and you'll see it. That's the spot I used for the battery to chassis ground as well as the engine block to chassis ground. The other end of the block to chassis ground is connected to the bolt on the alternator bracket, you can see the head of the bolt, it's mounted vertically. The last wire goes from the hot wire on the alternator (there's only one) to the positive terminal on the battery.
