There is a handle on the drivers side, to the left, just above the floor board. Pull this handle toward you and you will hear the hood pop. Go to the front of the car and pull the hood up. At this point a tongue like mechanism will come out in the middle, right under the partially lifted (about a quarer of an inch of space between hood and bumper)hood. Pull this toward you and it will release the hood, thus opening it.

It's actually kinda tricky. Pull the door release inside, and your hood should pop, and a pull tab should pertrude out from under the hood. grab that tab and pull down first and then to the right. This should do the trick. If not, then you will have to do what I did with my girlfriend's car: Drive it to a dealership and ask them the most embaressing question, "How do you open the hood?" Good Luck!
