Lookn sharp! Nicely done bro. I wish I could have gotten my hands on that one before I bought a used one off in a junk yard when I purchased my car. How much did that cost you? Liners aren't cheap, b/c I tried getting one for the R, and it was costing around $250 plus back then, don't know how much it's now.

Would everyone be shocked if I said it was only 100? I actually found a link to it using the search found this post.

I clicked on Gonzo Duque and shot him an email through his blog. Very quick response. I saw the R logo on the blog on an XKR and told him that was the logo I wanted and wanted it in red. Sent the money on Sat recieved it by Thurs. Very nice product definitly beats a stock liner. I tried to not go to heavy on the glue its not as formed as I could get it so if anyone gets one you can go a little more then light on the glue. I definitly cant complain looks way better. The guy actually lives about 10 minutes from where I'm from in Michigan. If I had a trip planned there which I dont anytime soon I would of took it over there and got it. He only has a template for a 2005+ S type so anyone with one pre 05 will have to email him and I guess he can make one from either your old liner or he suggests getting a dollar store shower curtain and tracing it for a template.

That guy does a great job and the materials are much better than stock. Someone found he was offering that for the XK and XJ guys. He will make one for just about any car but he does not have all the patterns yet. Someone sent him an S Type hood liner and he now offers that as well.

Yup, gonzo's liner is pretty nice, its a step up (or several flights actually) above the OEM. It'll last forever, and so easy to clean too! This one was ordered w/o the original mounting holes, the old fasteners are not needed, and 90% of them broke apart when trying to remove. Yes Vance, I agree...don't be shy with the glue, and get it on every square inch of the liner back, so you can mold it to every curve under that bonnet.

Aircraft firewall material hood liner pad for Mustang, Corvette, Grand National, many other cars
He has his contact info on there so you can email him about the 500sl. The glue is listed on the blog also its a 3M spray adhesive number 80 I believe. All the info in on his blog hope that helps you for your SL.

He can. Go to the blog link posted in reply#12 and it has how to order. I have an 05 so it would be the same liner. The decal is added after you install it so its put on by you once its installed and glued down.
