The "trick" is simply hydrolic shocks (like the ones on your trunk). They are positioned on hinges inside your trunk, on all 4 corners. So instead of your hood only raising from the rear, it goes up as one whole unit, but only about 8 inches. You will def need hood pins!!!! I repeat GET HOOD PINS! At about 50 mph the hood comes flying off if you don't have them... don't ask how I know this :evillol: You can get one of those cheap cd's off ebay for like 4 bucks and it will tell you what parts you need and give you blueprints. Or there are kits you can buy. But you're going to pay a lot for them and you can do it cheaper yourself.
