i probly have the same grill and i had to drill a hole in the latch and tie a pice of strong rubber coated wire through it. i just let the wire hang behind the grill so now i just have to pull on it and it opens.

RE: Billet grill help and hood latch

its actualy way easier then the latch.. what i did before that was keep a long flat headed screwdriver in the car and when you need to pop the hood you poke it between the grill and try and pop the lever.
