Wondering if anyone has lengthened their hood release cable? I need to lengthen mine 6-8" so that it doesn't go over my newly powdercoated inner fenders and then I can route it along the side of the driver's side fender to keep the engine bay neat. I was thinking of cutting the cable about 8" from the hood release bracket, and splicing in a section to extend the hose. I was thinking of maybe using some Lokar parts, but haven't found anything truly suitable yet:
