Has anyone had any experiences with this. I am interested in it and was wondering how much it helps. I also like the metal instead of the current flimsy plastic.

I have a friend that has it installed in his MCS and the fit and finish/durability is good. It does do a better job at directing the air over the intercooler than the stock cover and it does have the water sprayers. The net effect on peformance may be limited depending on the air which flows through the stock bonnet opening. The biggest intercooler gains come from a larger intercooler that is air to air or water to air but that is expensive.

Here's more info:
