You would need to heavily modify them to keep them. I looked at trying to keep the shrouds, but resolved that I would need to nearly cut them in half and figure hout how to refasten them. Quite a lot of work, really.
I removed mine, and the car runs a few degrees hotter, but no big deal. I have them still in one piece sitting on the shelf in case I want to re-install them sometime.

I have confidence in my results.
