OK, here you go, this is the way I do trunk lips, they don't have to be very wide, I first cut a 1/4th wide, strip of .010 plastic sheet 2 inches long, X 2, I then mark a line about 1/32 of an inch, then super glue the strip, to the line, inside the trunk, I do the 2 side's first, now when you do the top/front of the trunk, you will have to see how far it is between the 2 side strips, there all different, after it's all said and done, it will look all blocky, you will have to file it to what you need, to give it that right look, be sure to check, and recheck, the way the trunk fits, because it's gotta sit flush,and smooth:        |

This also works GREAT for hoods that only have nubs or "ears" protruding from the fenders edge..... I been planning a bunch of this sort of thing on hoods alone! I have yet to peel open a trunk lid!

Wow! This is one I missed seeing! A great idea to use when cutting one open!

Sure is a good one! Like I said, a lot of time the parts that support the hood is nothing more then a tiny little tab that it rests on, when in real life it has a "drip" seam..... Which is what this would represent. I myself would almost be crazy enough to ball-end mill this just slightly to give it that "channeled look" too!
