Please don't remove this. It definately pulls air up into and through your radiator. I'm not pro but i've been lurking long enough to know that removing this is a bad idea.

The last 2 replies are correct remove this and when you sit in traffic and then take off it want cool back down as quick and if you decide to road race you would for sure need it. Someone took the one on my 98 off before I bought it which was in the winter and as soon as it warmed up outside I could tell that I was gonna need it, so I went to the dealership and purchased one.

Just leave it. Either you won't file it down enough to make a difference anyway, or if you do file it enough, you've just let a lot of air escape your radiator's path.
Why the concern/bother?

Do not mess with it. It's a major portion of the car's ability to deflect the oncoming air into the radiator.
Plus its just flimsy **** and it's not gonna make a difference if you scrape the hell out of it. I do it everytime i leave my driveway cuz my car is lowered. Big deal.
