Default Needed?- METAL spark pug wire boot

Just changed the plugs and wires and don't want to reinstall the metal plugs wire boots that were on the stock wires. Is it necessary to reinstall them?

They reduce the amount of radio interference. You are not driving a metal body car.

My Camaro SS had them, and it is a metal body.

If you don't want them I'll give you $10 plus shipping to send them all to me. Thanks.
