Default TRD Ground Kits

Do you guys know what the difference is between the TRD grounding kits (on ebay) and ground kits from Todd? The TRD one has a central plate where all of the ground connections go to and Todd's one I believe doesnt have that central plate. I'm looking for a good grounding kit for my GS400. What's Todd's email anyways? Thanks

Here is a kit from Teckkits. I believe Todd's one is an upgraded version of the teckkits.

I was wondering what does the grounding kit do to the car?

Some say nothing. Some say it cures impotence and baldness. Others say something in between. Your mileage may vary.

i agree, if a gnd kit is done well, honestly, i don't see what's the big gain of the gold plate?

Like I've said before they just ripped off the design from HKS.

The TRD grounding kits are just universal knock-offs from the HKS Earth grounding. They're just TRD stickers on a made in Taiwan / Hong Kong / China production kits.
