TODAY i went up to 198 and have no clue why its high now

First of all, 198 is not over heating by any stretch of the imagination.
Second if you removed plastic from the underside of the car its highly possible you disrupted the cooling of the car.

ok but it went up fast and its never been that high i dont see cutting out a small thing doing this is this 100%

Yes, the plastic creates airflow..

zomg. 16 degrees? dude. maybe its hotter today? but yeah. plastic is there for a reason

Winkdogydog101

it was a bit hotter its about 108 down here but what degree should i worry about it getting too

If it goes over 240F then you have a problem.

You shouldn't have removed that plastic. It is there to channel air into the intake. By removing it you have made less air available for the SC to pull.

no i didnt remove the whole thing just the part under the cold air intake ive seen a ton of people on here do it and it makes the car screem

Brian MP5T

that's it...

Your car is FUCKED now that the plastic is gone...

Just because it makes more noise does not always mean it is better for the car. Everything is give and take.
