!wire mod, where to get grommet? I did the wiremod in the spring and i just sanded the metal down nice and cleared it to prevent rust. It looks pretty good but i need a grommet to finish it up. Where did you guys go to get your grommets or what did you use? I cant think up anything and ive been to a few home depots and lowes and they tell me they dont have anything for me.

My wire hole is not on a flat surface but rather on a surface with a few angles, therefore a traditional round grommet would be loose or pucker up at some point so I just made my own.
I used a length of thick vacuum hose that I cut a slit along the side of it, run around the wire opening, then super glue in place.

My method is similiar to what SS LS1 did. I used the thick foam-type electrical tape and just ran it around the hole, folding half on the engine compartment side of the hole and half on the wheel well side. No glue needed, the adhesive on that tape is nuts. Both methods work fine with holes on flat or angled surfaces, and both come out looking great.
