Never seen that monstrosity before. Most aftermarket spoilers will use the stock mounting holes. So you should be able to put a Z51 spoiler in its place.

Thanks. The more I look at it the worse it looks...making me rethink putting in an offer on this car.
Removing it shouldn't damage anything. Whether they drilled additional holes to install it, and whether it's rubbed the paint underneath, are the questions you can't answer until you remove it.

That is what concerns me,.., holes. I am not a big guy on spoilers, to begin with, and this one is a monster.
Not all spoilers are created equal. There are definitely holes under that, but you can replace it with something else and not see the holes. I certainly wouldn't back out of a deal because of it. Here's what I put on mine, which is from GM:

Yea. That is what a spoiler should look like! Nice looking acr.
Yup, it's the large black piece on the lower rear of the car. Do you know if it's painted or carbon fiber on the car you're looking at?
Aftermarket doesn't mean bad BTW.
They sent e a closeup video and the spoiler is carbon fiber and very well lined up with the natural lines of the trunk deck. It just looks so big to me

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.

Removing aftermarket spoiler
Make replacement a part of the deal... If they refuse, then decide buy or pass. I personally would not want the spoiler. YMMV.
