If Lexus/Toyota went through the expense of engineering, making molds and putting them on, I'd suggest replacing them.
Aside from probably directing cool air over the engine, they may also help with noise abatement. Take into consideration that when I say it'll reduce noise, I'm mostly referring to everything under the hood has a whole, contributing to total noise reduction.
So you remove one thing. No big deal. Remove another piece of plastic. May or may not hear a difference, but as you keep removing engine bay plastics, it may be subtle, just like getting old, you don't notice your hearing going bad, but over time, yeah, it's not like it was.
Just my nickel's worth of opinion.
