I drilled a hole through the firewall and used a plastic grommet. I have an a/t so it was easy - right through where the clutch master would be on a 5spd.

You can also go through the rubber grommet on the pass side where all the factory wires run through. Just make sure to silicone the hole so you don't get any water or noise.

There is a rubber OE grommet on the driver side just behind the throttle body. It is in a recess on the firewall.

just so you know, i drilled a hole through the firewall and used the grommet. The grommet wore away after a while and caused the power cable to start to tear. This tear started to spark and my fuses were blowing all the time. I didnt realise this was the problem untill I narrowed it down. When i would hit a big bump, it would blow (sometimes). ANyway..just saying...watch out doing something like that.
