you don't have to put the covers back on, it wont harm anything. but how often do you open the hood and look at the carbon fiber?

Leave it like the 2nd pic. Get a carbon center cover to match. I had mine off on the sides but had a center and radiator carbon fiber. You're the only one I've seen with that intake. Nice

here is what it looked like...
