I have kept mine. They do help a little with engine and road noise. Honestly, if I took them off, I would either need to store them somewhere or offload them. The easiest thing is just to leave them where they are.
I replaced all of my clips with some that are slightly easier to get off using a little pry tool, and I can have all three covers off in about a minute or so.
Finally getting to pressure washing
Hit mine last night, just a regular spray nozzle. Looks like I brought home a decent chunk of MNF.

Hi All, Reaching out here looking for some help (thanks @1world1love for the suggestion).
Took the LC for a trip this past weekend and we lost the engine. I am sourcing another to swap in, but am having trouble finding a spot to do the work. My current landlord lets me do general maintenance and stuff, but with no garage a swap would be a bit tricky and exposed.
Anyone have any suggestions on someplace I could rent to do the swap with my dad? We have all the tools and would leave any place cleaned up. If needed we could rent through our family business that is fully insured and can provide COI. Appreciate any tips.

I am in the North Bay, but will to travel for space. Currently throwing around the idea of getting a hotel near wherever my dad and I end up doing the work.

Checkout DIY Auto Repair and Customization Shop - DIY Auto Repair - http://www.diyordietech.com/
I've used their facilities once. It's pretty good space, not crowded, and has many of the major tools one may need.
seconding this recommendation, DIY or die is a great shop and should have all the tools on deck for a swap

Agreed, we should set something up! Anyone else interested?
On my end I finished rebuilding the engine, got it swapped in, and just took it for a ~850 mile trip to hit some trails along the Eastern Sierras. I have a thread showing all the history of the swap over here: Misfire on Cylinder 8 and Oil in Intake Pipe Investigation and Engine Swap.
Here are some shots from the trip.
Just had a baby but I could probably squeeze away for a Hollister trip and a night of camping
