Removal of engine cover
A question for the technical "nerds":
Is it harmful to remove the engine cover? personally I can't appreciate the looks of the cover, the engine looks much better without it.
The engine probably will suffer less from heat-build up without it.
I'd appreciate suggestions/ opinions

yea bigger vents on the GT to get away more heat, the engine cover is there for a reason plus it has reflective foil so heat won't damage the bonnet/hood. You could leave it off, just watch your bonnet dosn't get heat damage, myself i would leave it on, you can get the cover painted or carbon effect,,there's a thread by richzak called silver carbon fiber engine cover 4.2l xkr have a look at it.

On the inside of my XKR-cover there is no reflective foil, just some foam strips to prevent vibration against metal parts. Thanks anyway!
I saw the thread by richzak and it looks good but not as good as the engine itself.
Did anyone encounter a heat damage of the standard bonnet on an XKR after cover removal?

Are you talking about the plastic cover that sits on top of the charge coolers or the fabric blanket attached to the underside of the bonnet? I've often wondered if removing either or both of those would give a little more noise, particularly from the supercharger...
