Well I'm back at it again with the questions. What's the best way to get the wiring to the engine bay? I don't really feel like drilling into the roof but I don't really see another way

run the wire down the windshield seal then there's a crack you can run it through at the base of the windshield.

What brackets should I get? I kinda like the rain gutter brackets but I'm not sure where to find them. Not much online, and I went to the offroad parts store and the guy there was like "they look hideous, I wouldn't get them" which was terrible customer service if you ask me. I think they look good.

Yeah definitely, the cost isn't too bad around $55. If only I had the skills and resources to make my own haha
