Default Removed the engine covers

Today I just removed all of the engine covers, but the one in the very front so that there wouldnt be any gaps. Do you guys think this was smart or dumb. I partly did it because when i get my intake it will be cool to be able to see it and I also heard your engine can cool easier? Let me know.

Thanks.

but you can overclock the 2.5L to a 3.5L and make the 3.5L into the 4.6L.
