What are these?

I'm considering doing the same thing. Cutting them down to make covers for the fog lights and wires. Sometimes it amazes me the dumb shit designers come up with.

It wouldn’t have been as annoying if I had my DeWalt. Doing it by hand sucked. She took them off, but I saw people talking about ice build up in the winter so I did it.

The first one took a while because I wasn’t sure how much to remove and trimmed a bit at a time. The second one was a lot faster because I modeled it after the first one. I made it look as close to OEM as I could. I think after the plastic edges don’t look so fresh you won’t be able to tell its not stock anymore.

I think they did, but that was the purpose of putting them on, the extra MPG's you get. The Max tows were the main ones that had them and it helped with towing MPG's. Either way, once you remove them the MPG's will drop that's a for sure. I'd suggest if you decide to swap out the OEM bumper to something aftermarket try to find one that closes that gap back in.

I average around 17.2 to 17.8 mostly on mine on 37 12.5 17 Kanati Trail Hogs.

That looks good. The plastic ones look like a shitty afterthought IMO.

Thanks. I am thinking I need something a bit more rugged for the deer.
