I hate the dam thing. How do I remove it?

And will removing it have a bad effect on drag/ gas mileage?

I am currently stock.

Just leave it till you go decide to wheel it. no need to remove it unless you will be wheeling stock.

Mine was a bunch of screws I had to remove then cut the sides. I think on yours you just have to get a dremel and cut it off.

his is a 98' which means it has rivets holding it onto the metal part of the bumper. Just drill them out but be prepared casue the endcaps will look funny unless you trim them

Did you bother to look at it before posting...by looking at it, you probably could have figured it out, it is a fairly simple removal.
