Air Intake Cover
So what's the skinny on this piece of plastic that seems to be covering the air intake? Here's a pic: http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/u...2/DSC00967.jpg
The one on my '95 XJ is even simpler, its a piece of plastic screwed into a normally empty square hole. I'm assuming its to keep things such as, for example, over 9000 love bugs out of your intake.
I was thinking, if it were replaced with a fine mesh, perhaps the intake would still be protected while at the same time allowing more air in.
Thoughts?

No. But that's what the filter is for, to filter debris. Check and clean the filter regularly and you wont have problems.

Do you have tips on removing it? All I can see from under the hood are the end of screws that go through that piece of plastic and the metal.
