Default I hate this fin.

Ricer *** thing. It needs to go. Think a luggage rack would look good on a '74?

LMAO thanks for posting that pic. Very funny.

I always liked the look of the luggage racks, and they are very usefull on trips. I think it would look good.

That's not a fin, it's a wing. Remove it if you don't like it.
Don't put on a luggage rack, suggest you put on a 80 rear bumper cover.

Won't there be some huge holes in the bumper cover after you remove the wing? Or is it mounted on the rear deck?
