i ran it through the grommet in the firewall with an inline fuse as close to the battery as it can be. then along the sidesills and under the back seat (you have to remove it) up into the trunk.

The grommit is a rubber plug in the firewall that keeps anything you need to run through it from getting cut on the sharp edges of the firewall. (ie hoses, cables,ect.)

i found an easier way to do it: open your driver side door and look in between the door and the body of the car and you'll see the rubber tube thing that has all the wires for the power windows and what not.

Now look to the left of that big grommet and you'll see a smaller empty one, punch a hole in it and feed the wire through that. heres the tricky part, now you will have to feed the wire through the fender.

This is what i did: I opened up a metal coat hanger and twisted one end around the power wire. Then i pushed the hanger in the fender (from the door jam) and up through an opening under the hood (make sure to have your hood open) then i went under the hood and pulled the hanger and everything through the opening...be sure to provide enough slack on the other side when you start to pull it through.

Thats it! now just connect you fuse and your done. sorry if its a lil confusing, i'll snap some pics when i get off work
