Not unless you want a hole in your roof.

im vinyling the roof black. so it's either i vinyl the roof black around the sharkfin and leave it silver and have a contrast. or remove it and put vinyl over--so holes would not really bother me. everyone i have called about black roof vinyl has said to leave the sharkfin silver because it actually comes out great. also getting a black jun-tw roof spoiler.

you can remove it.. then just get your roof filled in.. i wouldnt want the sharkfin anyways although i have it the roof spoiler looks ALOT/TONS better without the sharkfin IMO
