i put mine in the back, near the rear side panel that covers the spare tire (now nitrous tank). if you look in there, there are plenty of places to put a ground as long as the wire is long enough for you. otherwise, i just used a self tapping screw and sanded down an area on the flat part of the rear, between the t top holder and rear side panel (where the spare goes) and drilled it in there, it laid flat, very neat, just so happens that i ended up putting a bracket for the nitrous bottle in that hole and put the ground on top of the bracket, and it was a great and strong ground. good luck

Slik98z has the right idea. I ground two amps to that location with no problems.
