My question is how desireable, or important, is it to have them on the car?
I am a real "newbie" so any comments will be helpful.

Depends if you are a purist or not...Yes, they originally came on the car and it just makes the engine compartment look Model Aish. I think they were there originally to keep the mud and crap from getting into the engine compartment but others I am sure will add to this.
Personally I think they look neat in there...Kind of a B*&%# to put on but not bad.
I also think back in the day most were just forgot about and not put back on.
