I need to replace the wire cable and its sheath that operates the front trunk hood. Is there an "easy" way to do this? Any pitfalls? Better yet, is there a DIY writeup out there. I used the Search feature but nothing turned up.

If you're not going to replace with stock parts then I'd consider experimenting w/ bicycle cables- the kind used for pulling brakes & gear changing. Shimano makes the stuff in bulk & although made of different materials, it's essentially the same principle- a cable designed to slide within a sheath.
