Plus, i'm not doing Le mans this week, So, no remorse.

Well ok LeMans is out for the week. But if you look at the design of those scoops you cut off you'll see they are not scoops. They are reversed and draw COOL air up into that extremely hot engine compartment in an attempt to cool it off. They become quite necessary during summer driving LeMans or not.
