Hi

I own a 1999 Acura 3.2 TL with the regular 225 hp engine. I was
wondering if I can get rid of that bogus-looking plastic cover on top of
the engine. I like the way the engine looks underneath. On top of that,
it is a source of vibrations. Is there a particular use to it like for
waterproofing? Can I shove it in the recycle bin? Thank you in advance
for answers

Waterproofing? Nope, It serves no mechanical purpose.
Recyclable? Yes, but you can probably sell it for more.

Are you driving with your hood up? You shouldn't hear a thing from the
engine cover.
