Default That pain in the ***...

...nose tray under my 97 TA.

Any problems with leaving it off after I pull the 799 bolts out to change a ******* turn signal bulb?

If so, what? It'd also be easier to leave it off in order to screw with my air filters when the time comes.

Did you remove the air dam along with it? You definitely need that on there. It helps "corral" the air flowing underneath the car up into the radiator.

For future reference, and to make things alot easier on yourself, next time just remove the plastic inner fenderwell to access the turn signal light. It's like, 5 bolts to take it off.

You could also just open the headlights take off the plastic trim around the headlight and then reach down in. Thats what i always did. ITs the friggin fog lights that i hate changing.

I havent removed any of it yet. Thanks for the fenderwell idea.

And no, I wouldn't pull the airdam off. I'm just trying to figure out the negatives of taking the rest of it off.

the "push" clips right up in the area where the cover roles into the radiator there is either 3 or 4 .....alll you do is pull the center out using linemans pliers and you have easy access and it will not hurt the bumper to pull it , you will see what i am talking about

if you just take off the 2 holding the wheel weld and then the three closest to that the you have plenty of room to stick your hole arm in there

I don't know about your cars, but I find the inner fender more of a PITA than the little "nose tray." But I always use the "remove the headlight trim method." You can do that in about 10 mins.
