If the aluminum piece is in good shape it will command good $$ in resale, these were $500+ to buy retail... before they were discontinued.

The panel is bolted through the tailgate in 6 or 8 placed across it's width and at the outer edges, so if you remove it there will be holes in the sheetmetal underneath.
