I grounded mine to the trunk lock bracket. As I recall, I think that hole was already there, so no drilling.

Although I don't recommend grounding to sheet metal, if you take out the drivers side panel in the rear hatch area and grind off all of the paint right below the rear speakers that makes an accessible grounding spot. You can take out the gas tank spout cover (it is only held in by two screws) and you can run a bolt through the sheet metal and secure it with a locking nut. If you are constrained by the lack of wire, that may be the best bet.
