I just traded my 2014 Silverado in on a 2017 Silverado. The spoiler was a breeze to remove on my '14 Silverado but a lot more tricker on my mew '17 Silverado. I have yet to see anyone actually remove it. I have seen pictures where they have removed the lowest 1" piece but not up to the Bumper though. I removed the entire piece from the truck and cut around the Chrome insert since it is attached to the spoiler. Im happy with it and makes the front of the truck look taller and beefier.
