Relocating hood latch cable

I did it.
The cable is very easy to diconnect from the latch mechanism, them just feed back to the fire wall. It is awkward to work with, so be careful. Then just under the DS hood hinge there is a small seam/hole. I enlarged that hole and fed the cable through there, back to the latch. Similar to the wire mod, you need to take out the wheel well liner to guide the cable through.

When I re-routed mine, I just went around the bottom side of the wheel well inside the engine bay. You can't see it and don't have deal with going under like the wire mod

I think this route may work better for black cars but any other color, the black cable may stick out like a sore thumb.
