Default DMH cutouts...switch install??

Im installing a set of DMH low profiles next weekend but i wanted to get some info about how to bring the wires into the cab. I sapose i can bring them in from the rear however its going to be kinda hard seeing as the cutouts are getting installed on the rear 2 pipes just behind the doors. I really dont want to go through the hassle of removing the tunnel plate in order to access the shifter....anyone have any ideas or pics of there install?...Thanks!

I had my DMH's installed, but I do remember the installer telling me that he came into the interior in the rear. It would make sense so that the wires are a bit more protected from heat.

By the way, I LOVE mine.

I dont but if I remember right, feed it downt the shifter hole on the right side, then towards the back, it will drop out at the rear of the tunnel plate, I used a coat hanger , then taped the wires to it and pulled it through.
