So here we go..... Just got this bad boy back from M1 Auto Body in El Monte, CA yesterday. Decided to use the modified engine cover cuz that SC is just plain ugly. To anyone that's interested in also purchasing this hood, the fitment is off a little. Not sure if it has to do with the new hood, or that it's the car itself. If memory serves me correctly, even the stock hood never looked exactly flush. Anyway, here's some pictures. Enjoy!
That SC is atrocious looking.
Changed it out to the all gloss-black side vents.
Yuck!
Much better with the cover!

I actually like the hood a lot more than I thought I would! My only gripe is that cut-up engine cover. The mesh just does not look good. I think the factory cover but with two "supercharged" emblem just above or below the "Jaguar" would look clean. That's just my .02 though, take it or leave it lol.

The fitment where it meets the bumper cover over the wheel looks a bit tragic but it is fixable. There are two bolts that when loosened give you a lot of wiggle, and you can add some shims too. It'll tighten up that gap significantly. It kind of complements the black top I think.

I just took those two bolts off on one side and there is so little adjustment I doubt it would achieve anything.
Have you had a look at the six bonnet (hood) stops? Hexagonal black plastic/rubber things about 3 cm across. Two on each side and two across the front. They screw in and out (down and up) and determine the height at which the hood closes. Screw them clockwise to lower, anti-clockwise to raise. The four on the sides just might be way high and need to be screwed down a bit.
