    So yea, my cable is loose, and i cant open the hood, which is a very bad thing if lets say.... i run out of oil, or anything else like that. Plus i have my suspension to put on once it gets here. I already took off the grill and its very tight in there. Anybody have a useful trick they want to share :)

    get under the car with a flash light and a long prybar. push the latch manually with the prybar. just to the right side of center iirc, theres a tab you can push up on.

    I have had to do that before, just have to find the g spot. And then it will pop open.
    Hooray for boobies!

    Your car isn't being soo nice to you is it Mat? You need some sort of hook prybar, just move the latch to the right when facing the car. Let me know how it goes.

    So is it easier to access from under the car or from the grill? because from what i can see from the grill i cant even fit a bent screw driver anywhere close to the "G spot" lol. And no, my car is driving me nuts with all the bouncing it does. Damn Ksports :@ I cant wait to get my OEM stuff in the mail
