Worth getting?

Found these 'compartment covers' today, wondering if anyone has these, or knows if they are worth getting besides for the looks.

Do the covers actually do anything or are they just for added bling? Mind you, there is nothing wrong with bling. I'm just trying to figure out if there are any "advantages" other than looks.

That's what I would like to know. I feel like it could help out with heat-soak to the CAI, but not much else. I have a feeling this is mainly for looks, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has any experience with this product.

waste of money, if you want some covers make some out of ABS sheet plastic with a jig saw.
