Default engine covers

Are the plastic engine covers more than cosmetic or are they important?

Generally speaking they're mostly cosmetic but they can provide splash protection & noise reduction benefit in some cases. No idea specifically with the 2nd Gen hybrids. I've only every removed the cover for the battery.
