Anyone ever remove their 'beard' from their 'Bearded Taco'?

Was curious if anyone has removed the black plastic 'beard' below their front grill...would be great to see some pics if so. I imagine you would be able to see the skid plate/tow hook better with that piece removed...

 

Yes, most people. Chin spoiler

 

THE off roads and PRO's don't come them if you want to reference those

 

Are you referring to the air dam at the very bottom? Or the black piece that covers the aluminum collision bar area?

Tons of people remove the air dam, myself included. As far as the other part goes, I've seen a few get removed and you can see like 6-8 black pyramid type shapes behind it for the impact area (as far as I know of). Looks weird but to each their own.

 

"Bearded taco"????

What the hell?!

 

I think he's talking about the bumper. I thought the SR's didn't have color matched bumpers. Makes it look like a beard

 

Here's what I was referring to...

 

Gotta love a clean shaven taco

 

That would be the air dam, chin strap, beard, pick a name.

Yeah, it's very common to get removed and some trims don't even come with one. Just take it off, step back and smile at the improved look, and never think twice about it.

 

Negative. Mine remains installed because of +1 MPG. Even though other taco owners reported they saw no mpg difference with it removed, but I'll try and squeeze whatever I can to get better mileage since I'm driving further for work now. I'm averaging 23.8 - 24 mpg.

 

Red Taco in the first few posts has it before and after on this thread. Lots of commentary on it in that thread and about 35 others. Lots of people refer to it as an "air dam" or "chin spoiler." The bearded taco phrasing has been used to describe the SR utility package in other threads.

 

Wow, you're not kidding that there's a whole thread on this! Thank you for that info!

 

Here is my 2016 Sport with the chin spoiler removed. I also spray painted the stock skid plate to try and match the body paint.

 

here's the best pic of mine removed with the pro skid plate and offroad tow hook painted red...

 

Bearded Taco

Must be Friday

 

I literally took it off my sport the moment I got the truck home lol.

 

Come and take it

 

ZZTop reference. Guess who's last name is actually Beard? It's Friday!

 

Wow. This sure escalated. Haha!
