Megan coilover rear adjustment hole pics?

Doea anyone have pictures of where the holes need to be drilled in the interior behind the rear seats in order to install the adjustment cables for the Megan Racing coilovers? And to anyone who has the adjusters- How are they working out? Is the hole drilled through a flat part of the interior plastic? If it is at a flat part, I think I can find some rubber gromets to fit in the hole and run the cable through so it has a cleaner look.

I thought the rears would be like my Honda and 280Z. They had holes in the top of the rear towers, just like the front towers. And both cars had little plastic doors in order to adjust the shocks.

Check out my gallery. I drilled this 3.5" hole because I cannot get by the HK amp. You can drill a hole in both sides and niehter will be seen when the seat are in their upright position.
