Did they have a drop in Intake temps or Coolant temps? Because I can definitely see a drop in intake temps with a removed cowl. As for coolant temps...See below

Here's a CFD pressure plot of a miata, courtesy of Rob Robinette
Notice the small high pressure spot where the cowl should be. It may not be a frs/brz, but it should possess the same characteristic. That being said, removing the windshield wiper cowl will help reduce coolant temps IF and ONLY IF the pressure under the hood is greater than at the cowl. It should, however, help reduce intake air temps.
