What year Mustang did your buddy open the hood on?...

You're also leaving out HOW he did it...Do you mind telling us?...

there is a little spot right where the latch attaches to the cable. you pull it towards the driver side i believe and it pops open. the years you can do it on im not sure. probably 87-93 or so.

no man i have a 99 cobra and he did it on that which means its definitely on 99+ and likely on alot more early ones

I know how to pop the hood on a fox, but I couldn't see anything on my 98(I just took a quick look).
