Is there a reason for the plastics on there, i would think it would run cooler if it wasint on there and i see most of you guys dont have it on. The only reason i am asking is because i am thinking of taking them off. So should i????

 

It wont hurt anything, I think they are there to reduce engine noise, but it definetly looks better without

 

i would think it traps heat, and joewit is right, it is mostly to reduce in cabin engine noise.

 

i use to drive a 66' mustang with a built 302ci V8 so this car doesint make a 1/4 of the noise my stang did. Yea i do think the plastic retains heat as well.

 

pull that **** out

 

My mehanic pulled mine out last month, told me its to hot out right noe to be driving with an engine cover
