Debating on removing the roof rack...I can't think of any reason I'd ever use it...thoughts and opinions??

Took mine off. never use it, but when and if I ever do its so easy to just bolt back on anyway .

What do I do about the holes

I just put my old bolts back in, but if I'm not mistaken, @Fosscore found some flat headed bolts to put in, instead of the round headed stockers. How many people would even notice tho? Not many.

I put the bolts back in. you can leave them out. I just didn't want water and debris settling in there and building up over time so when you go to put bolts back in they don't get stuck. or possible corrosion build up

Good luck, not too much demand for those stock racks.

You can just put the stock bolts back in place or get some grub screws and use some silicone to seal it. Then it will be completely flush to the roof. The threaded inserts can only be removed if you drop your headliner as the the part on the roof is flat like a washer, poking thru the roof and then the interior part is a long nut that threads and compresses it.

You probably won't escape the imprints/marks left behind from the rack that may not polish out, but again even lowered I cannot see the top of my truck. I did put the Esky rack on which covers it up, but it does look sweet naked though.
