    Yes sir! First thing I did when I got home from the dealer. Looks hideous on the truck.

    Unbolt all the 10mm bolts. Pull it off. Put all the bolts back in place.

    Way better looking truck.

    Comes off easy, looks way better without. If I’m getting worse gas mileage it’s not enough to notice/ make a difference to me.

    IMO the truck looks better without the aerodynamic chin strap. Easy to remove and easy to reinstall.

    The Sport definitely looks better with that thing removed, much cleaner without it.
