There are no holes, the best place to drill a hole is next to the brake booster underneath the master cylinder

Hole for amp wire

If you pop down the plastic is the driver front wheel well you can push the wire through the same hole that the factory wires go through from the engine compartment to the cabin. I did it this way and I put black wire loom on the cable connecting it to the main fuse box under the hood at te nut that connects the battery to the box and you would never be able to tell that I have a power cable connected at all.

actually i did this last night. there is a hole its on the passenger side just big enough for a 4 guage power wire. if you look from inside the engine compartment its on the top left side about the size of a silver dollar. now since i didnt have enough power cable to run it that way. (used it for the alarm i installed). if you take the driver kickpanel off and look up toward the top there is a group of wrapped wires that goes into the quarter panel. you have to cut the grommet and run the wire into there then through the quarter panel and out the inside of the engine right next to the battery. the sweet thing is when you pull up the side step rails in the car they have the existing wires held down with a clip and the power wire i ran fit real snug on top of it. if you want pics just let me know and i can take some and post them for yall. good luck

you can run the wire with out drilling a hole there is a rubber gromet on the passenger side of the car if you look in the pasenger foot area up in the dash you will see it and it is easy to get to under neath the hood also. i fit my 4awg wire through it with a minium prob. You will have to cut a hole in the rubber gromet though so be carefull not to cut anything in the process

for those with automatics, go down where the pedals are. there should be a nice hole for where the clutch linkage would be....
