RE: crap, hood release

you broke the actual latch? if you did, try pulling on the cable w/ pliers to pop your hood open. it's easy to fix. i think a 10mm bolt is holding it. i can probably get you another hood latch. is your car a 96-00?

Check this out... not sure what year civic you drive but apparently there's a problem with the hood releases breaking.
