you have a few options.
you can run it inside the inner guard and then into the car behind the kick panel.
theres a grommet you can make a hole in just near where the cruise module sits.
theres a couple of ideas for you

there is always that too
but there isnt really any need to
plus
if you are going to drill a hole, drill it big so you can use it in the future to run other stuff through.

Yeah When I went auto to manual I had to relocate my wires. I drilled through the firewall. I used a holesaw and used a gromet so I can put extra wires through or upgrade the power wire.

I think drilling a new hole in the firewall is the way to go. It must take a long time, as the firewall is pretty thick?

just take note that in certain states this can occur a defect without being engineered !

Andrew - I'd opt for running through the guard like ch0c0 said...I just reckon avoid drilling is a good idea where possible. Another option is running it beneath the car...but no, I don't know anyone personally that has done it.

Cheers,
Steve

PS, Glad to see you're up and about again :)

f**k drilling through the firewall. I've got a manual and installed my own system. Use the rubber grommet in the second post. No point drilling holes you don't need.
