I haven't had the engine cover on since I installed the Mazdaspeed strut bar. That was over 2 years ago. I haven't experienced any performance issues nor any heat damage to the hood.

i had my cover off all summer. the car seemed to run cooler without it...got dirtier though. now that cooler temps are here its back on as my car seems to get up to operating temperature quicker with it. your results may vary.
