id go with this route...idk how your bumper set up is, pignose? chuki? do you have FMIC? but if you could jack the car high enough so you can poke your head under....take a long sturdy rod or any of the likes...locate the handle you normally pull up to open hood and just poke it up and use your other hand to lift hood and hold it (or make your friend do the poking and you lift the hood)...
my friend had to break into another guy's 240 that had his unpaid S14KA and asked me to figure out how to get in....
my pignose nostrils are cut open (venting and it looks cooler) my hand is thin enough (on a cold day) to reach in the nostril and open hood without popping the latch inside the car
