Yea, at the time I thought it was a great idea.
I'm thinking it had to help somewhat but I also open the hood to let the heat escape as soon as I shut off the tractor. Since half of the one attaching pin on the side panel is broken, I usually remove that too since it's easy to get off.
I would say the plastic probably looks better than your average 1864 but my tractor is just used for mowing so it leads a pretty easy life.
This is the most recent picture of the plastic.
