I say it would look better with out it

 

thanx for the input everyone. i'm pretty sure i'm going to take it off. i wanted it, not for functional purposes, but just to have because it was already there. but the damn thing just doesnt look right with drag bars. i was already leaning towards taking it off, and this helped me out a lot. once again, thanks for everyones input.

 

Looks cleaner without it.
