I used a bore bit to make two holes for the hoses. I found out that it's a double-walled bulkhead there, which messed up my idea of using these really sweet grommets I found for the passthrough.
This exit point was high enough that the hoses are completely clear of any moving suspension pieces and has suitable clearance from the exhaust. I fed the hose up from the bottom and pulled them through the holes, then routed the rest alongside the brake line. If you drop that passenger side undercarriage panel (easy), you'll see the brake line. Then I routed it up through the front wheel well and down to the i/c pump. I can't even see the hoses from under the car.
Note: the '03 & '04 have the battery mounted in the middle, so this may not work.

Does anyone know if the 7 gallon trunk tank will fit to the spare tire space without having clearance issue to close the trunk cover so I could use the trunk space without having the cover ( one to access the spare tire area ) sitting too high.

Get the specs from the tank and than measure the trunk depth. I run two 3.5 gallon tanks and they fit perfect and can still get some tools and stuf in there with no problem. I don't remember how deep the trunck is...would have to measure it.
