Default How hard is it to remove the Nismo spoiler/wing?

I am looking at an 04 Touring (thinking about getting another Z again) and I like everything about it except the Nismo wing on it. I'd like to know how many holes I'm gonna need to fill and what to expect monetarily to remove it. I'd like to replace it with the OEM Track Edition wing (the little duck-tail looking one).

Thanks

Why would you remove it?!?!?!? Anyway, this all depends on who installed it and their level of obsession.

I never cared for how they look. Makes the rear-end look taller and fatter to me.
The little Track spoiler is functional and looks much better to me.

he wasnt looking for opinions on the wing.. he simply wants to know how much its gonna take to take it off and fill the holes.

the removal is simple, 5 bolts like someone said. it is cost prohibitive to do this since the holes will need to be filled and the hatch repainted. you are probably looking at around $600 minimum to do this.
