Hood Liner
#2
My 2005 STR had the hood liner replaced under warranty because of shrinkage. The one made from aircraft firewall material is far, far superior!! Much cheaper too. Do a search because I think the guy was giving forum members a better price than what he was charging on EBay. He has some real cool emblems he can add.
But it is a very high quality piece and much better than the factory item.

Heres the one by Gonzo that may be the guy you are talking about.
Here is a link I think he is on the forums cant remember though. Very good quality and looks awesome with the logo. Check out his site cause he has a Jaguar section now and you can see other emblems. I will say when you install it dont skimp on the spray glue. You will not want to put alot cause you will think it will be good enough. Go to town. Use more glue then you would think and make sure you have really good coverage with it.

Sure is. She is a little lonely lately as I now ride a bike for a commuter so it only gets driven here and there. Had to drive it last Friday to school and now have a nice keyed into the paint "J" on my hood so I'm not too happy right now. Going to try and get it fixed soon. Going to try various things before I go to having to make a claim and pay a deductable on the insurance.

There is another pic in the Jaguar gallery on his site of mine.
I have a really really good feeling I know who did it. Some people just have gone off the deep end. Its looking like I might be able to wet sand it but when they came back up for the loop on the J the other part of the key hit and there is a little dent now. If I have to get it painted I'm going to prep the hood myself and the front bumper and have the bumper resprayed too. Bought some rain gear for my bike so I wont have to worry about riding in the rain anymore and can take the bike more. The "anyone" doesnt know about the bike so wont mess with that. I guess some people get bitter when they realize what a mistake they made.

Well I need to do this now as I missed out getting mine replaced under warranty. The OEM ones look like crap anyway, cheap and the wrong materials.
So a couple of questions?
1. In the Jaguar section they show the pads being glued with the hoods removed from the car. Is this really necessary? Has anyone done it with the hood still attached to the car?
2. The original utilizes the plastic screw fasteners. Are those reused or abandoned?
Thanks

2. Yes the original screw fasteners are reused.
Make sure you use alot of glue and its covering every spot that the liner is going to go and do it in sections so you have time to work with it.

Yes under the original factory warranty. I have been told that cosmetic stuff like the hood liner, emblems and things are normally NOT covered but the dealers have some leeway to keep the customer happy.
I got several things replaced that I thought they would not.
A new headliner because of a small wrinkle by the rear view mirror where it came off the windshield and was dangling by it's wires.
Both "R" emblems on the sides of the car.
Hood liner.
Had a sticky ash tray door and they replaced the entire thing!
I was pretty happy with the factory warranty and really thought long and hard about buying the extended one too. But it's been off warranty 1 1/2 years and about 25K miles with only a few items needing fixing so I am still happy.
