Default How to remove spoiler?

I have a new spoiler on the way. How do I remove the original factory spoiler? 2014 base coupe non z51. Thanks for any advice as always.

A base 2014 non Z 51 does not remove any spoiler, all spoilers fit around the existing duck bill.

Just changed mine out last weekend. One person an about 2 dozen fasteners to remove. Just be careful around the tail light bezels. You can chip the paint there. Remove my z51 spoiler an added z06 stage 2. Just take you time.

Thank you I noticed that after posting this thread. I was under the assumption that the "duck bill" would have to be removed. Thanks to all who answered as well.

Can you post pictures of this? I'm curious how the final results look. Thanks!

Yes I replaced it with z06 spoiler. The z51 is different an the stage 2 winglets LeAve a gap between the spoiler an the winglets an the are to long the will cover more of the brake light.
