Very nice! I have the same battery den cover (painted MSG) and was curious how you have your secured. I used 3 sections of velcro; one on top of the fuse box and two underneath the frame near the windshield cowl. I've noticed that after I drive the car, it tends to fall off or vibrate lose.

Do you keep yours on full time or only for shows/photo ops?

i know its a little hard getting to set right in there ive notice that too but just under the firewall by the cowl there is a small cable that run parallel to the cowl i think its the hood release cable i put the 2 tabs from cover between the cable and the cowl and it holds in place for me

I like how you matched the engine compartment, cowl to the hood colours, even the gold stripe. Job well done my friend.
