New XE Hood coming soon

That's going to look great! Will there be underhood trays to funnel rainwater? Is it still aluminium?

Those are some talented guys there.

That is an oem aluminum hood. Waiting to see the water consequences.

Looks great. I don't think the water will be an issue. Jaguar and Aston have been putting vents into hoods for a long time.

Water has been no issue at all. In fact I have deleted air boxes and run open k&n cones.

I run a VAP pulley and tune and the vents work so well my hood is cooler than a standard hood. I of course run the supercharger with no cover as do many Jag owners. The car has turned out quite stunning and I still am working on brakes and wheels, but those projects have stalled.
