I HATE how it looks and really want to remove it. Who's done it and how horribly doesn't it effect your mpg?

I think you'll find from a lot of people that hardly anyone runs theirs. Usually because it got torn off from something catching on it. It's not hard at all to tear it off, shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes. As far as affecting MPG, I don't think it would affect it too much..

Everyone removes it. There is no ill effects from it. I removed mine and trashed it months ago.

Some people report getting "hood flutter" after removing it, but I didn't. I vote trash it!

x2. Mine has been removed for over a year now and I can't tell a difference. I even cut the bash bar out from under it and rotated the sway bar motor up out of the way and it looks even better.

I took mine off and installed a skid plate.
