That's an expensive part! If the diffuser is also carbon fiber, which is way more expensive, I'd keep the spoiler that's on it. You may find you like it and, if you don't, it can be replaced later for not a lot of money - and you can probably sell the CF spoiler to pay for the replacement.

Good luck whatever you decide to do.

If that's truly the car you want, a spoiler and maybe, a couple of extra holes would not play any role in my decision making. Don't let something as minor as an AM spoiler "spoil " your decision....

Not sure if the spoiler currently on your car has mounting studs that match up the the factory z51 spoiler. If so, should be an easy swap by taking the rear fascia loose.

I think you should leave this car for someone who really wants the extra spoilers. You should hold out for what you want, rather than de-modify another car to get what you want.

The spoiler is pretty easy to remove and replace with basic hand tools. There are threads here (and probably a YouTube video) showing how to do it. It's easy. The diffuser isn't nearly as easy as it requires removal of the rear bumper cover. There are threads here with directions and photos of that as well. I replaced the diffuser on mine myself with a CF part, which looks much better IMO.
Good luck whatever you decide to do.

I didn't want to be dealing with the work and expense of replacing parts. I'm not mechanical.

Are you removing entirely without replacing with another spoiler? If you are replacing with a different spoiler, make sure the drilled holes match with the new one's. If you want to remove completely, and the old spoiler was drilled into it, you'll need body work to fill those holes in.....giggity.
