Default Need to get two wires through firewall.

I need to get two wires...from the fuse box under the hood to the center console of the car.

What's the best and cleanest way/route to do this?

I would go through the access hole where the hood cable comes in. Its hard but not impossible to get through.

There is a LARGE grommet on the passenger side that comes in by the passenger floor board. You can either poke a hole in it, or if you try hard enough put a hanger through it and pull the wires in. Like I said, PLENTY of room. The grommet is directly behind the battery. It will make life easy if you yank the battery out. Hope that helps.

when I installed my laser shifters, I didn't want to go through the trouble, so I ran them under the fenders and then under the side of the windshield trim and under the weatherstripping into the car. Its hard to see in the picture, but they are under the circled white area.

This is what I did and it worked out just fine and can not be seen when done properly.Also there is no metal around it to come in contact with any of the wires.
