find a safe spot & drill away!
just make sure you get the right drill size for the gromet.

uh, yeah!
do you think they would've been nice enough to have engineered an extra hole in the firewall, so we could run some extra wiring through it in the future?

no, seriously though, you're gnna need to punch a hole in it.
actually........that'd be better. if you have access to a GREENLEE knockout punch, that would make a super clean hole in the sheetmetal. (it's what electrician's use to make new holes in panels & switch boxes)

0 gauge, eh? That's some pretty thick wiring.
well, there is some open firewall on the passenger side to the left of the antennae grommet, not sure if that's far enough away from the antennae wire to prevent interference, though. I just ran my 4 gauge through the antennae grommet without any issues, but that stuff's relatively thin.

That'd be the one.
However, I don't think you have enough room to run it through there, and you'll more than likely have issues with the reception on your radio.

that's where I ran my wire, it was enough room for 1/0.
