either remove completely if you don't use it, or do what I did, and remove cross bars and then paint the side racks to match your truck. I think mine turned out pretty good. I didn't quite like the completely off look, but I also use my rack from time to time. Go on trips alot up north to snow, I live in AZ.
an old pic but you can see the rack paint matched.
