Default Removing RS body kit

I am looking at a 99 z28 with the rs body kit. Is it easy to remove and will it show where it was attatched. I am mainly concerned about the side panels and the spoiler? Any help would be appreciated.

the 3 piece rear spoiler is bolted to the quarter panels so youre gonna hafta fill those holes in. the gfx are held on the car by hangers that are rivetted to the body, so, there will be holes there too.

First you get the car, should like like this maybe nicer

Then remove the body kit and drill out the rivots the results will look like this

Then do a little grinding and filling

Add a touch of paint and bang your done!
