Well today I find that my front trunk is stuck closed. I know there is a manual release on the passenger side. Does anyone have pictures of the best way to get to this? Else I guess I will be posting them after I figure it out tonight. Thanks In advance.

There is a steel cable with a loop for a manual trunk release inside your front bumper cover.

If you are lucky, you can find this cable by removing the cover for the tow hook (round circular plug in the bumper cover). If you find it, pull it.

Skyler has a picture showing this loop (left of bumper - in front of radiator tubes with green sticker)

Have someone pull up on the lever in the door sill while someone prys up on the lid with a padded tool. If there is no resistence when you pull up on the lever then the cable to the lever is broken. A broken bowden cable is not as common on the front trunk like it is on the rear. If it is broken then you have to go to the emergency release. You want to first rule out something got caught in the latch.
