Fatboyslim, I did not get your PM.  Someone else PM'd me trying to sell me a OE front trunk lid.  I have one(actually several).  The point of this was to modify the OE to fit the G28 front trunk lid/hood as it is longer than OE.  I actually copied the original, cut it into quarters and slid them out to the corners of the G28 lid and then glassed back together and matched up the body work so that unless you have one of each side by side, your can't tell.

I had three of the g28 hoods here and they were all a little different by a 1/4 inch or so.  So, I make the inner a little oversize so you can trim to your hood outer.  It is easier to trim then add to the edge of fiberglass.  The contour and shape are correct.

I'm getting ready to make one of these G28 OE style inner hoods for a friend.  Does anyone else need one while I have the mold out, clean and ready to lay??

Thank you 'No Bull' !  It looks like I failed to post a response and I wanted to know I really appreciated your response!
Sorry about that!
I definitely want one of these inner hoods :)

I got your PM and I'll see what I can do for you.  I banged up my foot pretty badly and I'm just getting back to work and really behind from being out.  I'll see what I can do.

Yeaa, the same guy I got my door glasses & door rubber from. Dammit, I should have bought the hood hinges when I had the chance. If you ever need your money back, I'm in the market for a set.

Where'd you pick up the oem hinges?

A guy from Wisconsin had a wrecked LP640 roadster with less than 7,000 miles.  He decided to sell off as many parts as possible before putting the rest of the car up for sale.  I grabbed the hinges for $350 shipped and he sold the rest of the car the following week.   8)

How much are these? Are there any available now?
Are there instructions on attaching them?
Thank you!

Bartman is the only fellow with the molds to make these as far as I know.  You should PM him and ask if he can pull another part for you.  They bond to the underside of the G28 hood and you can reinforce the hinge area with steel for strength but to also give you a place to tap some threads (or weld on a couple nuts) for the hinge bolts.  For hinges I spent a little more but kept it simple and went with a used OEM set ($350 for the pair).

Glad you guys like the part.  USMC_Butler.  You have one already made but I'm out of town until Saturday so it will go out Monday or Tuesday (8/22).  The last time we shot each other emails, I thought it was going to be a little longer and I don't have anyone at the shop that knows how to log onto my UPS account to ship and schedule a pick-up.  My wife usually does that and she's at the beach with me!!

My inner hood panel arrived a couple of days ago and I'm really impressed with how heavy it's made and how much it looks OEM although it's been modified for a G28 hood.  Last night I went to my shop and grabbed my hood.  I matched them together and like Tallon said, Bart left plenty of edge on the panel for trimming and fine adjustment.  I'm bonding 1/4" metal plates behind the latch and hinge sections so I can drill and thread the panel. Positive feedback coming for the Bartman.

I would imagine that the two latches are for the primary and safety latches.  Most cars have a two stage latch for safety.
