Is it necessary to install an engine hood cover?

[OBrody]

It is recommended to install an engine hood cover. On one hand, it helps maintain cleanliness in the engine compartment, and on the other hand, it protects some wiring harnesses inside the engine bay while also reducing noise generated during engine operation. When engine covers were first invented, their primary purpose was to ensure tidiness in the engine compartment, serving mainly an aesthetic function. Many car owners worry that installing an engine cover might affect the engine's heat dissipation, but in reality, it does not impact engine cooling. The performance of the engine is not directly related to whether an engine cover is installed.
