Get a self-drilling bit screw and just screw it into the frame of the car, alot of people do that or either bolt it up to a bolt already placed in the car. As long as the surface is clean of paint it should be fine.

I searched long and hard and found the best place to ground is one of the bolts on your shock tower, behind the carpet, gets the best ground, I have 2 amps and 2 caps grounded off of there.

dont do the self tapping, zippy head screws because they do rust. best ground would be the shock tower like he said because its a close connect with the ground

Nope there's 3 nuts holding the bolts, and if you unscrew one, the weight is still on the suspension, perfect to ground on, like i said I have 2 grounds off them and they're perfect. Even when I went through with a voltmeter, the best grounding point I found was the shock towers
