PS: Still looking for someone who has removed the OEM diffuser and can provide some details of removing the "clips" called snaps in the Service Manual, Quoting:
"Carefully push a small nylon wedge between the upper fascia. Insert a small flat-bladed too into the fascia slot and depress the snaps one at a time and pull on the fascia at the same time to gradually remove the upper fascia."
If anyone has done that and can shed some light on what the clip is and if the lower section pulls back NOT down, please post.

Jerry,
It's not hard. I swapped out my diffuser for a WeaponX carbon fiber one. Check out this clip starting about 2:28 mark on how the diffuser is separated from the rear fascia.

On Amazon I purchased the ACS Composite Rear Diffuser / Valance Fins ABS Plastic Injection for C7 Corvette Stingray Grand Sport and Z06 (Two (2) Per Tunnel (4 total), Carbon Flash Metallic Black (Matches Rear Diffuser)) . Super expensive, but a perfect color match. Chuck from Corvettes 918 on YouTube sold me on these.

That's where I first got the idea - from Chuck's video.
