Default Radiator Air Deflectors.. Replace or Remove?

I have 13’ 3.5 eco that has a ripped driver side radiator air deflector. The prior owner taped it and it has held up well. However after detailing the engine bay it just looks bad. To replace the set is like $60.. are they worth that or can I just remove both? I realize this may be more

a matter of opinion. Just trying to get thoughts from fellow truck minded people. Thanks!

Use your old ones as a template and make your own from material at HD or Lowe’s.
