Default Need help with wiring

I am trying to run some wires from under the hood to inside the car. Does anybody know a way I can run the wires without it being exposed? Any help is appreciated

Try going behind the battery. There is a rubber groument for oem wires that you can snake into.

I used the rubber grommet under the passenger side dash. Its a lot cleaner to run thru than the drivers side.

yes like everyone said the passenger side behind the battery, you can just get a strong piece of thin metal pole and just push it thru. i ran 4 gauge power wire thru there in seconds.

You can cover the wire with split loom all the way up to the grommet through the firewall. Zip-tie the split loom and zip tie the loom out of the way so nothing is dangling.
