Why wouldn't you go through that grommet? It is there for a reason with the rubber around it. It's central to the battery, and also easily tucked away. You can always drill, but I'd say to first spray some rustoleum, or other rust proof paint on the opening once you get the hole drilled. Then I'd silicone around the wire to keep moisture out of the cabin.

That's a great location for your power lead. It allows you to easily go under the carpet and back to the trunk.

my 2k1 ex coupe had the passenger side grommet in the DIY - but was NOT predrilled. I ended up sharing the central hole nearer to the steering column.
