Default steering linkage or wheel well

if the pics don't show up. Look right around the area of the steering linkage you should find an access point that should allow for at least a 4 guage wire with minimum alterations.

I think the best way to do it might be to remove the plastic wheel well guards. From what I here on either side there are grommets that will allow for you to pass up to a 1 guage wire through and end up with a cleaner installation. Nothing for the prying eye to see .

up on the firewall you should see a black rubber gromet going into the firewall, it has the majority of the wires that go from engine to car



there we go, that's a better picture, i'm not sure if the GS300 has that or not, but it should be on the passenger side
