I removed my engine cover because it looks kind of bulky and blocky not a good looking cover at all but i was also thinking it might let the engine cool a tad bit better as well because the engine cover has the heat shield mat under it what does everyone think about this

Mine came off as soon as I got home from the dealership, along with the false intake manifold cover and insulation

I did the same, and in fact, there is another fake engine cover below that one, It sits on top of the intake manifold, covering a lot of it, but not all, kinda looks weird. That came off too! Now just need to relocate the heater hoses!

Might help a little for cooling, but not enough to really care about.
