Yeah just go through an exsisting hole in the firewall. It may be easier to start from the engine bay and push it through, then pull it from inside.

Yea if you drill another hole then you gotta make sure you don't hit anything, and you gotta buy little rubber things, its easier/faster to just put it into an existing hole.

You cant take out the stereo surround? Why not? It's so easy. Take off the shifter surround, take out the ashtray. Take out the center vents and then unscrew 2 screws underneath the vents. and I think 4 or 6 other screws. Take out the cigarette lighter also. Pull off the surround.

Man those rubber things are so the wire doesn't rub against the sharp hole you drilled in the firewall and slowly cut into the wire, eventually grounding it. **** I saw it on some show, it looked like it made sense .

You mean the wire won't fit? What spot are you trying to run it though? Try the one Cowzzz said (wiring harness, right above fuse box). Good luck!
