This car is made out of plastic!!

I removed my dash to install my tvnavtogo, but had a very tough time finding a metal ground point!!
'
where are the most popular ground points on this vehicle?

Just find a stock grounding location and piggyback your ground on top of that

They're all over the place in the dash. Everywhere there is a screw going to metal is a ground on our console.

I ran a self drilling screw in to the passenger kick panel behind where the plastic piece sits.

That's a good spot. The main supports that run under the dash can be used too but they are harder to drill into.
