Jack up the car and take off the left wheel and then take off the black plastic cover to the back of the fender well and there will be a hole big enough to squeeze your wire through . This is what I was told I havent attempted it.

I see your from Knoxville. You gonna go to the nashville meet on 3/25/06? Maybe we can hook up and travel as a group if I can go.

There is already a suiteable hole. I will get a picture of it tonight and post it up tomorrow. This is where I ran the wires for my RPM switch and my City Lights Switch back into the cabin.

My buddy put it thought the door frame opening and up through the driverside hood opening where it meets the body. Right in the corner. you have to cut the little boot on the cables in the door.

hahahah wtf is wrong with people these days. No common sense running a wire through the door frame???? Jack up the car turn the wheel so you can access the plastic lining, remove it and you will notice a grommet which you can feed any size power wire though.

I'm going to try again, I hate this resizing bs.

So apparently, it ain't getting bigger. I even used the original pic size...oh well. You can see the general direction, follow the red amp wire into the firewall, and there used to be a black rubber grommet. This car that's pictured is a 96.

I forget who sent me that pic, but it was a big help. There is a grommet in this place.
