i like this one myself.. i found a local dealer and its a steel hood for around $400.. and for the record its COWL INDUCTION.. not CAL induction.. refering to the area of the vehicle where it picks up the air..

NACA Vents
Do a search on NACA vents, quite a few good hit and links out of that one as well as some interesting reading on how they work.

NACA vents look cool, but wouldn't do much good on the hood of an XJ. There is no boundry layer flowing over the hood. High pressure at the leading edge and at the base of the windshield, low pressure in between.

Depends on what he wants the vents for, some of the naca vents are closable and would make an ideal solution for bleeding off hot air if put near the windshield, they could be closed when not needed. They could also be put on the upper fenders on the outside with a scoop on the high pressure area, would improve air flow thru the engine compartment quite a bit a'la Buick vents...

The original post requested info on "hood scoops or cowl induction", not vents. Any shape hole will work as a vent on an XJ hood. Any hole can be designed to close. Read your own links for some interesting reading on how they work.
For cool looks; yes. For function; no.
