Best Place To Go Through Firewall?

Where is the best place to put wiring through the firewall safely, doing the least possible amount of work? I need to get it through on the drivers side if poss., from drivers side area to underhood fuse/relay box area.

People will say the grommet all your other wiring goes through, but I didn't use that.

I went through the fender then used the grommet in the door. Haven't had any problems with it.

Haha the fender way is the cheap way. That's what I've done too.

Ahh ok. So kind of like, behind the wheel well and then you can feed it through to inside of the door sill?

Steering shaft grommet.

All my wires run though it, very easy, but you'll need a coat hanger to bring the wires up

Nice clean install

behind the brake pedal. pull the insulation back, and just above it there is a big gray grommet. push a hole in that, and snake your wire through. it'll come out just below the fuse box in the engine.

don't go through the fender. thats for wussies who can't do it the right way.

^^ Looks like shit too ^^

You don't have to punch a hole in the grommet, just open it up and put it back

its the cleanest safest way to go.

I'm going to redo all my wiring before ASS. Right now it's a big mess in the fuse panel, console, and above the driver side footwell.
