You could get a rear diffuser to cover it up..http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z01/50-1881

Why do you want to remove it. It looks good. But you could make a couple of brackets that would connect to the Aluminum bar and push it down.

Idk i still think it looks badass but I just over it. I dont' think I can pull of the look anyway. I jsut got amuse sides so the sides of the car are lower and teh rear bumper is realyl high and the tuck makes it look even more uneven. I need to get a rear bumper that extends lower or I can leave the tuck and slam my car but then i can't drive it cause of California's terrible streets.
