Default ? on 10 pt cage, "through the dash or not?"

Is it better to go around or through the dash? Any major obstacles in going through it? Anyone have pics? I have a '98 TA.

GO THROUGH THE DASH!!! It looks like a$$ if you go in front of it, plus it makes it harder to get in and out.

Through the dash looks the best, it's trickier to do and can cost more unless you pull the dash yourself...

I went before, I can always change it if I want.. I have a swing out:
