Default Im having Hood issues

I recently bought a hood from ebay. Hood4sale was the name of them. The term you get what you pay for fits in well here. Anyway, i put the hood latch on and let it shut so i could check the fit and now i cant get the hood open. Its stuck. Can barely fit my fingers under the hood and it feels like its latched solid. Anybody have any ideas on what i could do? thanks

All I can think of it trying to pop the latch with a screwdriver or unbolting it from the coresupport from the bottom (good luck with that one).
