Cosmetics for MT or AT. They look good, and even better now that I am going to paint my engine and radiator cover. I did, however, see a notice on HP gains... to my window motor lol they roll down faster now that I have the 4gauge grounding kit.

+1. Just buying a roll of 4 ga wire and some ends, and then do your main ground battery, and alternator. Save money and same results...

Is there any benefit on a MT? Yes. The entire electrical system's grounding will be improved on a manual just like on an automatic. Will it be as obviously evident? No. AT models show the benefit in a much more tangibly because of the shifting improvement.
