Just to clarify:
You mean the plastic cover that says VVT-i, right?
And not the metal valve cover?
The plastic thing is just there for looks. The valve cover is there to keep crap out of the valvetrain.

Not trying to be "that guy," just making sure.

Yeah, to my knowledge, the plastic cover is fine to remove, since the spark plug wires should have seals on them.
