Peel back the driver side wheel well lining, right by the door, you'll see wires going into the car and a plastic cap. Just push the plastic cap in with a screw driver. This hole is huge and you can fit whatever size wires you want. It comes into the car over the ebrake.

beeza... im kind of confused by your pics as i cant really see whre the hole is exactly in the engine bay.... when the wire is in the car... is it by the gas pedal or the ebrake side... and when the wire is going from the battery.. is the hole there already and is it covered by something?? can you kind of tell me where i should be looking at?(center, right, left, etc)??

and hzm... when running up the wheel well, how do io run it up to the engine? thanks a lot guys!!
