engine cover and hood insulation

in another post about clattering noise, I did not want to hijack the thread with my own questions.  So....

 

1004ron... you mentioned in that post "Is this one of the models where Ford did away with the aesthetic / acoustic cover?'

 

I thought this might explain why I dont have an engine cover.  But then I assumed you are only joking... you are joking, right?  

My 2024 does not have one.   I do see on mine what looks like cover attachment points.  Does it hurt anything to not have it on?   Was its purpose to cover up all the ugliness? 

Mine also does not have any underhood sound deadening insulation.  Is it supposed to? 

It's a 2024 with only 27k miles when I bought it.  It is odd both piece are not there.

My 2021 ST did not come with an engine cover or a hood insulator blanket. Looked kind of funny with both of them missing. I did not buy the engine cover but I did buy the hood insulator blanket and installed it myself. It came with the attachment clips and looks so much better. Not sure how much it helps with noise. 

Never followed up on the engine cover but it does look like a cover from an earlier year will work

STbeast.... where did you buy it?  aftermarket or Ford?   I feel the blanket would keep some engine heat off the hood, maybe preserving the paint in the long run. maybe, maybe not?? 

The hood does look naked without it.
