Engine Cover Poll... On or off???

[07CrimsonGT]

Guys and Gals:
As I type, the GP is in the shade of the garage with a coat of wax drying on it.

After a good washing, I removed the plastic engine cover whilst detailing the engine compartment. My question here is do more of you leave the cover on, or remove it and allow the purty S/C to be visible when the hood it up. I would also think that the cover traps engine heat in/around the top of the motor to an extent which cannot be a positive thing for longevity.

Are there any reasons to NOT leave it off?

Your input and opinions please....................Don

off, no reason to have it on. If you don't want to see the engine, don't open the hood.

OFF

So far, the votes are all in favor of being "topless." I like that in my hobbies......

When i had my 2k. I had it in alot of car shows.
Alway had my engine cover on. I painted it that color shifting paint with base layer of blue then had some green and purple in it.

All other times it was off because it was acting as a blanket keeping the blower hot. And the fact i could not shut my hood with it on LOL

eh depends on the woman
