Default Dumb Question

Can the shroud/cowling that covers the upper shock bolt on the stock shocks be removed without messing up the geometry of the shocks? Or does that goof stuff up?

A turn signal project I'm currently working on....they get in the way, and I can either cut them so the bracket fits, or just remove em.
