Lines from engine bay to inside the car

Hey guys, I've been having trouble finding the best place to feed lines from the engine to the inside. I searched for many times and only can come up with the one on passenger side that goes through where the glovebox is. I can't get to that one for some reason. Maybe the area is too small for my hands to fit.

But anyways, are there any more places to look for? I want somewhere where I can feed 4 gauge wires and more.....As I will be hooking up many things like power wires, all the gauge wires, boost wires.....etc.......

thanks!!

you go in through the front driver side fender and then through the door grommet. Don't drill new holes.

Well on the passanger side there is a grommet thats already there. Its close to the door and right under the glove box. you can see it from the engine bay if you look deep in the corner behind the strut tower bar. Hope that helps. its where I ran my boost line.

There are actually 2 holes there, the one on the firewall and another on the inner fender. the one on the inner fender, to the left of the one on the firewall, goes inside the fender and emerges beneath the splash guard and there is another rubber gromet that leads to the interior. I believe the instructions for the Mitsubishi gauge kit tell you to use this one. I couldn't get at the firewall, and neither could my wife with her minute hands, so I ended up going through the fender. You don't need to pull the wheel off but it will definitely make life easier if you do. Also, there's lots of the sticky undercoating round there too.

If you look to the right of the battery you'll see an opening to the inside of the fender, you can feed the wires through that opening, and you don't need to remove the fender lining. If you have the right tool it makes it easy but a metal hanger works good to fish the wires out through the door jam.
