Wire run from front bumper to dash??

Has anyone attempted to run wires (i.e. for a perm mount Escort SR-7) from the front bumper to the dash. Last night I amlost had the whole front end apart looking for a path. Right now the wires are as far as the right headlight. I found a rubber grommet just past the port for the torx that holds the headlight in, where a group of wires come thru to the front trunk. But the passage is too small to stuff the wires through. I could pierce the grommet, but prefer not to. I can drill a new hole, install a new grommet, and continue up behind the radio amp where there is a factory grommet, just to the left of the batttery (facing the front of the car). Then there seems to be a factory grommet behind the battery, but can't find where it comes out under the dash.

The kit is sold for professional instalation only, and I now see why, Half the price has to go to the installer. I like a challange, but this is testing my skills.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
