Where To Ground New Head Unit

When installing as new head unit (with metra kit), where is a good place to attach the ground? I look inside the "cavity" in the dash and all I see is screws in plastic.

Is there a good ground point readily available or do I need to run a wire somewhere?

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere but you can imagine how many hits there are when searching for "ground" and "head unit".

Thanks!

it's a good idea to ground a head unit where your external amplifier is grounded.

Oh...
Well then...
Look for chassis metal.
Usually where dash structure attaches to the firewall or floor pan

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for, I was hoping there was a convenient place people have been using.
