Default getting bundle of wires thru the firewall

im installing my gauges on the a-pillar. i need to get my wires thru the firewall on the driver side,up high as possible. i have the cluster pulled out right now to look. i have already used the hole down low for alarm wires. any one have any suggestions before i waste my time looking? i spotted one up high but im not sure if it just runs into the wiper channel or if it actually goes into the cabin.

When I installed gauges I just used that hole behind the clutch pedal there's a rubber boot there that goes into the wheel well and thats where I ran everything through. Not sure if that's what your talking about but there seems like there would be plenty of room for many wires, the rubber boot is about the size of a hockey puck. That's the only practical place I saw.

That rubber plug actually leads to the inside of the fenderwell, but once you get through there, its easy to route to the engine bay.

I don't know if your car is an '07, but on the '05 there is a soft, black sticky pad about 1/4" thick on the firewall above where the clutch pedal would be. It's rectangular shaped and covers a hole in the firewall that leads directly in to the engine compartment. It's an easy push -through.
