If you look behind the driver's side kick panel there will be at least one unused grommet with the clear plastic tube. This grommet is for the optional fog light wiring. This is a common grommet location amongst all of the 06+ civics for the fog light wiring. From the passenger compartment it will be bent 90 degrees upward. The Another "Power from Battery to Trunk" DIY - 8th Generation Honda Civic Forum link pictures show that grommet. I've used that location on my EP.

I installed my power wire in my 06 DX-g today but I used the grommet above the hood cable to run it. Iused a piece of semi stiff wire to run from the hole into my frontg fender until I could see the wire. I then ran my power wire threw the hole in the plastic cover from the inside of the hood and then taped it to the piece if wire I was using to fish it threw. It came threw so easy. I drilled a hole right in the middle of the grommet and my wire slid threw perfectly. Tucked it under all my plastic interior panels along the drivers side. Fished it up under the rear seat the same way I pulled it threw the firewall and into the trunk. It took about 30 minutes tops, easy as pie.

I drilled a hole through the firewall inside the car on the passenger side. From there I noticed there another firewall you must penetrate! I have a 4awg power wire going through there so it required me to purchase a 1/2" drill bit. I wasn't able to make use of a grommet due to the fact that the 2nd firewall is impossible to reach with fingers or hands.

Is is safe for me to keep it like that? I just installed an amp yesterday and its running quite well. I just think the only way it will get cut is if you intentionally saw into the wire using force.
