I removed and shaved mine. Its just one bolt on top and a few on the inside, kind of self explanatory just look for the stress points. If it doesnt come out theres another bolt. IMO i think it looks 100000 x's better without it

I just used some tape on the inside of the hole (or fiberglass, tapes just easier) and then put bondo on top of that and smoothed it out with a creditcard (or the little putty things you can buy from bondo (but they're like $6, so if you have an old unused creditcard it works just as well for free).
then sand it and use bondo glazing putty, to get the final smooth coat and fill any small holes. And sand it with 1000 grit (or close)
