Default hood release issue.

so i had a blow out last night....that utterly decimated my driver side wheel well.... along with my turn signal...the plastic rain guard...and my hood release.

my question is, how can i get my hood open? i thought it could be accessed from the wheel well..but i can't see anything.

i'm going to go jack it up and see if i can get to it from there, but i was hoping someone knew a quick trick.

also, anyone have a driver side amber turn signal they don't need?

i also found out that someone snagged one of my gsr blades at some point..without me ever realizing it..sheesh.

the cable was ripped off completely? if not pull on the inner part of the cable... if the cable is completely gone....flathead, and a long reach to pry the latch open....GL!

the interior latch near the floor board was yanked so hard it snapped from the mounting point.

and there is no trace of the cable left in the driving compartment.
