The plastic engine top cover?
I know, they're all the rage these days, and they hide those nasty machine parts under the hood, in case someone accidentally has to look at them.
But do those plastic top covers actually DO anything? Streamline the cooling air flow? Reduce the noise going up through the hood? Prevent pixie dust from melting on the engine block?
Just curious to know if this is very subtle engineering, or lipstick on the pig.

Anyone know where to get the little lock snaps for that cover? I've looked around a bit but can't seem to find any OEM ones. Dealer probably has them but I don't have a trip out there planned any time soon.

I think they actually might help keep crud away from some of the stuff under them that don't respond well to crud
My prior car, 06 Lexus IS350, had covers over damn near the entire under hood area.
