And the car sounds more alive when you take the linner and the rain gaurd off from under the hood.
Plus more heat escapes from the vents near the washer nozels are after you remove all the items Which will help it from heat soak.

I had my liner off for a while. I just took off the plastic piece under the vent today. I'm surprised of how much more you actually hear the supercharger engage and blow off after removing that piece. Can't say if I have any negative effects since it hasn't even been a full day, but definitely sounds much cooler

one car at a time
The hood liner is there for two reasons : (1) noise (which many of you don't care about) and (2) protecting the hood from the heat. The liner does not impact cooling and should be left on IMHO.
As for the plastic rain tray, I am not sure what the negative ramifications with removing it would be, but I can see how removing it would help draw hot air out.

What about a dirty engine bay since the covers are not on? I hate a dusty and dirty engine bay the guys who do have the lining and rain guard out have you guys noticed more dust and dirty under the hood?

No issue. Dirt will always get in there from your grill and the bottom of the engine.
