Question Running Nitrous Lines

Hey guys. I have a NOS 5177 dry set up in my car with the bottle on the hump inbetween the back seats. Everything is all set up except for the auctual nitrous lines going from the bottle to the solonoids. My question is, what is the best way to run the lines between the two??? Would it be through the firewall and under the center console? I also heard that there is a hole under the back seats that you can use to run the lines. Im not a big fan of drilling holes in my body but i will if there is no other way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is also a rubber gromlet under the passengers side floor pan, you could run through there, and then up the rail to the engine compartment.....

Those are the two "best" ways that have been mentioned. Rubber grommet and under console through firewall.

I have the same kit and I ran mine under the lower door sill (don't know if that's what it's called) and thru the firewall and to the solenoids.

Under passenger side sill plate, to the passenger side rubber gromet that is in the firewall behind your glove compartment on the passenger side, no drilling at all. Real easy way to run your line.

i ran mine out the rubber gromit in the spair tire well, there is a hole in frame right next to it that runs all the way to the engine bay. i also ran my purg line into the same hole in the engine bay so you cann't see the purg spray. VERY CLEAN.
