Default quick problem with the civic...

okay so i was checking something under my hood one day and went to go pull the level to pop the hood. Now the handle part where u grip broke...and now i cant open my hood....wtf am i supposed to do....thought about supergluing it....but the amount of force it takes to pull it and pop the hood would be greater than the adhesive force of the superglue...is my only option to go to honda and pay and arm and a leg for a peice of plastic???

you can rather pull the cable with pliers if you dont want
to fix it. or just call me, i'll get you the part cheap and
wont charge you that much to install it.
