It's a bitch...I can tell you this already.  There are two spots...one is on the drivers side on the firewall where there is a small rubber piece where you can run it in, or there is a spot on the passenger side (this is harder to reach).  Just take a long skinny rod and tape the 12v wire to it, and jam it like a son of a bitch.

Here we go again <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Jack up the passenger side of your car and peek under it. &nbsp;on the inside of the frame, see those little tubes....brake lines. &nbsp;Now take your wire and run it from your battery, around your strut tower and to the brake lines. &nbsp;Zip tie it to them. &nbsp;Follow them ALL the way to the back of your car. &nbsp;When it seems like you cant follow them anymore, run them across the top of the differential (there should be places to zip tie it.) &nbsp;And there's a HUGE gromit in the spare tire well. &nbsp;Run the wire through that and your in business. &nbsp;TOTALLY HIDDEN. &nbsp;No tearing apart your car or busting up your hands tucking and hiding wires.
btw, THIS WORKS. &nbsp; I had mine done like this on my old car for several months, and it wasn't damaged in the slightest when i removed it. &nbsp;(note: &nbsp;if you total your car and have to remove the wire at the towing yard....now you have problems) &nbsp;

This takes about 10 minutes from start to finish....piece of cake. &nbsp; Zip ties available at any hardware store for like 2cents each.

So, rampid...an honest question for you. &nbsp;Where are you located and how do you think it would hold up in salt, humidity, and cold? &nbsp;
Run it inside the car please...less chance of the insulation coming off and causing a fire somewhere.
