how do you wire a ground kit?

i heard 2 ways....

1. wires go to certain places in the engine bay you want to have better grounding (alternator, etc) and they all trace back to the negative battery terminal

or

2. same as above but they go to a face of metal that is grounded somewhere in the engine bay


I've seen both setups so i wasn't sure... Can someone please teach me the right setup of ground wiring? As where usually the lines go to and if they go to the frame or positive battery terminal?

thanks guys

either is fine... frame is preferred... but definitely not the POSITIVE terminal as your post says

i have mine to the battery... but i guess the frame is better as pittfirefighter said. I guess i'll be switching them in the summer.
