yeah, I will likely remove it but am trying not to mess up the car that much because it’s the rare steel metallic blue which is 1:800

Is your '91 a convertible? If so, I'd leave it, it's factory and removing it will expose many mounting holes👍

These projects usually turn into the project from hell. And once you go forward, there is no turning back. I vote leave it alone. IMHO.

If this is the black factory luggage rack, and you successfully get it removed, without breaking anything, I will take it for my 1990 C4 Convertible.
