Default Removing factory ground effects

I'm thinking about buying another camaro since i stupidly sold mine last year.

I found a possible candidate but it has the hideous ground effects.

What's the process to remove these. Both the sides and the 3 pc rear wing?

Is it just double sided adhesive or are they screwed into the body?

Thanks in advance.

The front parts and side skirts along with the rear piece are all sitting on hangers that are riveted in. The front and rear are just in the fiberglass, the sides are in the metal.

Use a drill to drill them out, You cant hardly notice any of the holes when I did mine.

Oh and the 3 piece spoiler you might as well leave on, When taken off there are a few holes on the rear panel, one being about the size of a quarter. Hideous if not fixed.
