The LExus RCF has this thing too.

I think you can take it off and no one will be the wiser, its just that it has to be attached for dealers to sell it legally.
I don’t think you can just take it off easily, not and keep it looking right anyway. It’s in two pieces. Front piece appears just an add on to the rear wheel well, but the back portion, where it sticks out the most, is a molded part of the rear bumper cover.
