Wire through to engine bay???
Where can I put a wire from the inside of my car to the engine bay??? I want it to look clean and no wires visible...Do I need to drill a hole?!

right next to the clutch pedal there is a grommet that has a wire loom that you can push wires thru. there will be a plug that you have to pull out to do so but you can run it thru that grommet and it will be hidden pretty well by the engine dependent on how you run the wires.

coathanger is the best way to go! Tape the wire(s) to the hanger and pull them thru.

what are you trying to hook up? Cause I'm sure you don't have to go to the battery. There are a bunch of wires in the dash with 12v on them...

oh...well, inside your dash there are a few 12v wires. Then for a ground...any metal part of the chassis will be good.
