Question:

Do you have to remove the plastic spoiler from the truck to mount a winch mount on a 2014 Honda Ridgeline?

I believe you by winch mount you are asking about a front hitch on your 2014 Honda Ridgeline, and you do need to (temporarily) remove the plastic fascia/spoiler to install the hitch that fits, which is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 33328.

These are held on by push buttons so just use a screwdriver to pry the push buttons out and it will be really easy. You will need to trim some spots of the fascia to give the # 33328 room to fit, but you'll be able to put it back on your Ridgeline.
