    Sup guys,

    I’m new here so be gentle. The answer to the question may be out there already but I’m honestly not sure what this part is actually called.

    So I removed the lower front bumper flare thing. Does it serve any purpose on the care and does removing it pose any potential issues?

    Thanks!

    It risks making the truck look better and negligible MPG loss.

    Lol it makes the trucks more “fuel efficient.” Hence why the sport gets better fuel economy than an off road (at least according to the sticker)

    The only proper way to welcome someone to TW is to list the fifty ways that you did the OP's mom.

    @bangin4WV is just playing... Literally everyone (myself included) has taken em off... All it does is reduce drag increasing your MPG by 1-2 miles... Other than that it also serves a undisclosed purpose of catching on things only to get ripped off. Short story short, like a mother in-law... your fine and better off without it

    Did you seriously just remove the frontal anti-drag Toyota Racing Development special polymer spoiler?
