What is the best place to penetrate the firewall to run wires to a pod mounted on the A Pillar. Need to run wide-ban O2 and boost wires. While you are at it does the A pillar just pull off?

Thanks
Rod

I used an existing grommet in the firewall and ran the wires behind the panel on the left side drivers side floor then threaded them up with a coat hanger to the A-Pillar. Came out great.
