Hey everyone -

I'm trying to install a ZR3 laser shifter, and I can't figure a way through the firewall. One post mentioned a small opening in the foam mat on the driver's side just to the left of the steering column from the inside, but in my car that opening doesn't actually go all the way through the firewall.... It just goes through the foam mat. Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Im not sure if its changed in the C6 but in my 02 Z06 I went through the rubber grommet that the hood opening cable goes through. I used a 1/8 drill bit and drilled a hole through the grommet. When you remove the drill bit the hole closes back up which is good because it will seal around the wires or whatever. I used a coat hanger afterwards to pull the wires through.

I haven't done this in a Vette but in the past...found an existing hole with a gromet and slipped a plastic drinking straw through its center hole. I was then able to feed the wire through the straw with a little difficulty. Precludes drilling the gromet and if you remove the straw afterward pretty much seals the hole (depending upon the size of wire).

These is a large one just behind the battery on the passenger side, be careful not to damage any of the harnesses or you'll be in a world of trouble....
