Does the engine cover serve a purpose...
Or is it more cosmetic. I'm asking because it's a major annoyance when trying to change the air filter or do much of anything else under the hood. Would it cause any problems to remove the pieces that tend to get in the way?

The Engine cover has his due under the Hood.
It means do not touch anything. Lexus will take care of it.
At least that what my engine cover screams at me when Iopen the Hood.

Before I got all mine painted, I ran with only the front cooling plate (more on that below) on for easy access to everything. Other than to clean up the look of the engine bay and capture dust, they aren't really necessary. The reason I kept the cooling plate on is because whenever I would drive, there would be a loud whistling noise hah. Sometimes it sounded supercharged!!

I happen to have friend visiting this weekend (he designs electrical systems for a major car maker) he said it's for appearance only...nothing else. He said this increases cost in the vehicle because the heat cannot dissipate efficiently so they have to upgrade wiring/hoses etc. to more heat resistant grade. So, learning this fact I'm removing my covers to not put extra heat under the hood.
