Bringing wiring into the car

Hello everyone!

What or where is the best way to bring wiring inside of the car from the engine? Is there a grommet near the driver side? Anyone have pics?

Thx everyone!

There's a grommet in the upper corner next to where the hood release cable runs. It's kind of a pain because its behind the shock tower and kinda hard to see. But you might have to move the airbox to be able to reach and grab, that's what I did when running my 4 guage for my system.

Please don't do it through the door, the appropriate place is through the firewall. When I used to install car audio I had a small diameter copper tube that was sharpened on one end. I would coat it in grease and pierce the grommet. Since the tube was hollow I would then pass a wire through and tape it to whatever I was passing through. Sorry for the terrible description I will post a picture of my 'pokeroo' when I get a minute.

i ran my battery wire through the rubber grommet where the other wires are running through down by the pedals. used a wire coat hanger, stabbed it and pushed it through with the wire taped to the other end. had to take out the intake to get to it in the engine bay, it pokes out behind the driver side strut tower. just do it with a little room beside the wire harness so you dont risk puncturing the wire harness and possibly damaging some oem wires
