1) There would never be any reason to need or use these.
2) Unless you park in a garage every day and live in a very dry climate, plan on trashing underhood electronic equipment. Just imagine 4 hours up I75 here in MI in a snow storm with salted road crud flying everywhere including right through those vents. I5 H3 alternators are a PITA to swap out.
5-10 degrees means nothing, and the H3 is designed to run at the temps it does. Your cooling system keeps the temp where it is supposed to be. They ain't and air cooled VW.
You will need it only if you cant get air out of the engine bay fast enough its now acting as a restriction to air trying to come inside through the radiator!
If you want to improve cooling, invest in a dual row alum radiator. If you want to reduce heat soak in the engine bay at standstill or after shuttoff, you can remove the weatherstrip at the top of the firewall. Keep it and use it in the wetter months. I personally kept a small section where its above the ecu to prevent water from dripping down on it.
