Installing help

Next week I won't to install a fire extinguisher and the bracket on the passenger side of the car but I don't want to hit any wires or other important stuff. What is was thinking was to install it on the paasenger side walls near the side of the E brake or radio.

Input appreciated seeing as I don't want to mess something up.

the center console is made out of plastic, that section of the console isnt too crowded with wires, only power windows, and wiring for the shifter(automatic only) and power mirrors, if u take the top part of your console off so u can see where u are drilling, it should be a cake walk

The plastic seems to weak plus I have a BM megashifter and I really can't just take the top of the center console off to easliy.

How about almost on the floor behind the radio.

there's a driveshaft down about 6inches.....don't worry about that thing though. Nothing electrical to worry about ....just cut a little slit in the carpeting with a razor blade, pull back the carpeting with a screwdriver, drill your hole and put the carpeting back and screw her in. Good luck!
