im a car noob, how do i lift the frikin hood on one of these
reach under the grill and pull the latch while lifting on the hood
Detach the wires holding it down, pull the lever just under the hood, and push up. That's how I've always seen it done.
There is a latch that you push up on, just underneath the lip of the hood. Hold the latch in the upwards position and lift the hood.
