Alternative to expensive grounding wire kits

Hey all,

I'm new to the forum. I dunno if this has ever been brought up.... For those who do NOT wanna spend tons of money on grounding kits, I recently went to Pep Boys and bought Lynx brand battery 4 AWG cables. The cables already have terminals at the ends and are black, which makes them look OEM. I bought two (2) 19-inch cables a($4.49 each) and one 24-inch cable ($4.99). I connected the cables exactly like Betty Black's setup, minus the throttle body 8 AWG wires. The wires are high quality and look great! Let me know what you guys think.

By your comment, I'd say you're all stickered up...

Do you also not see the point in toilet paper because you already have a hand that works just fine?

So toilet paper keeps the crap off your hand, and the grounding wires keep the _______________. Please fill in the blank. Inquiring minds want to know! LOL
