It may discolor it...but let's face it, it's the bottom of your hood. You don't drive with it up. (At least I hope you don't)

I pulled mine off and did notice it running a little cooler, but I changed my intake pipe and have since changed the waterpump and thermostat, so it could be any of the things mentioned.
