[blue thunder]

I just got back from having new tires put on (fuzion zri 235/45/17) for 17x8" rims. I noticed the plastic shield under the front end has a big hole and is hanging down a few inches from the ground. I think in other threads people have removed them to get more cooling to the tranny. Is this ok to do? Any problems this may cause? I don't remember how this happened. Any feedback would be great.
