How do you get that thing off.The top is easy but the bottom part seems to be a pain in the ****. I do not want to force it and scratch the paint.

 

Force it (like alot of us did), or you can remove the lower valance if you want to waste your time.

 

Rip it off.

 

move to a state that req's em!
seriously though, just rip it

 

just pull hard it will come off

 

I guess I got lucky my truck didn't have one on it when I bought it.

 

Ripped mine off and just broke a couple little tabs, it still hooks on when I go for inspections....Mass. requires them but I think they look stupid so I dont put it on.

 

Must be nice if I dont have mine on they wont let me on base. So I have to keep it.

 

X2.

I guess I'll have to put mine back on when I go for my first inspection....in July.

 

I was able to reach up behind the bumper with a flat blade screwdriver and press the tabs in and removed it with no damage.

 

i knwo it sucks but i need to get one soon and the dealer chares an arm and leg for them but if you buy a truck with it its free i need it cause i am planning on moving and the state requires front and rear plates anybody still have there's shoot me a PM

 

I used a utility knife and cut the 2 bottom supports, the top just clamped on the bumper

 

My brother came home last summer and used a dremil(spelling) drill and we came up with this modification.

 

they are less then $10 at your dealer! just buy one

 

I live in TX and I know we are supposed to have one on the front. I didn't get a mount when I bought my truck. I know have one in the garage but I don't have it on the truck. i have heard you can get a ticket for this. I was under the impression that if your vehicle didn't have a factory mount on the front you were not required to have one.
