The more traditional way to reach the emergency release cable is to remove the passenger front tire, remove three or four plastic rivets from the front upper side of the wheel well liner and look for the loop on the steel cable near the back of the headlight tray.
I hope this helps.
BTW: if you ever remove the bumper cover, the take the opportunity to relocate the frunk release cable so you can reach it from the tow hook hole. Then it's easy as pie to pop open the front trunk. I even did the same with the rear cable by locating it under the driver side bumperette.
