I noticed that the ground strip coming from the left strut tower is not bolted down anywhere. I looked around for where it was supposed to be, but can't see anywhere that's empty. Meanwhile, I've unclipped it and just put it in the trunk. Where is this supposed to connect? Thx in advance.

I'm guessing engine head. Is it a braided groundstrap?

Yeah, it's a braided strip, and it clips to the strut tower (plastic clip, to attached end). I couldn't see anywhere that looked like it was missing a bolt, and I didn't want to just leave it dangling loose. It's in the trunk, car doesn't seem to run any different, but I want my car to be 100% perfect.

Thanks guys.

Just find somewhere and ground it. Maybe loosen a bolt somewhere nearby stick it under and retighten. Doesn't matter as long as you make sure the metal is unpainted.

The frame is the ground. The strap needs to go back to whatever it was attached to.

Exactly, so its grounded on the strut tower (frame) and I want to re-attach it whereever it was to begin with.
