they sell kits but i'm trying to remember what i was told awhile ago about getting a reverse hood.
there is a car that was produces maybe 10 years ago that had a reverse hood and the hood supports that tilt in reverse work very well in the maxima and altima.. the guy went to a junk yard and pulled them off and put them on his altima..
i'm going to try to see him soon to get the name of the car again.. sorry, i'm not much help////.

It's pretty simple. But don't try it yourself. Get a good body guy get the rocker arms that pop the whole hood then that roll. Install and boom you got your self a hood your nissan dealer can't open

there are a few cars that you can steal the latches and stuff off of....the cheapest is probably a late 80's model Buick Regal...they had the reverse hood....I am going to try and steal mine off of a late 80's BMW 5-series.

The best latches to use would be off a 98 or 99 vette.
