Default The engine covers on the SC 430s

Are the engine covers that come on the SC 430s do they serve any purpose?
I was wondering because I think they look goofy and want to take it off. I just wanted to know if they serve any purpose before I took it off.

Thanks, Cliff

It is just more of a refined look rather than having the block just sitting out. Check out some of the aftermarket covers, some of those are Very Very clean looking...
