Missing gray dust covers on injectors

At least two of us in Hawaii discovered we were missing some of the gray dust covers on the injectors. Not sure if the car came that way or if they fell off. Other then getting new dust covers is there anything else I should be concerned about?

everybody i know with an sti, has an alignment problem. wtf, its a brand new car. i had that problem with mines, but after 5400 miles, my insides were down the the thread, and subaru wouldnt cover for ANYTHGING. i saved my reciepts on what it costs me in case subaru decides to reimburse me. has anyone ever gotten their alignment problem fixed for free? how many miles? is there a issue, that subaru needs to do a recall? thanks...im just pissed cuz 380 bucks just went down the drain.

Yeah, but I think there are a few people who have upgraded their wrx injectors to STi ones and left the dust covers off without problems...i remember reading that somewhere
