I purchased the WeaponXmotorsport diffuser (ie a replacement for the rear lower fascia piece), and this is the instruction received:
Basically you must remove the entire rear end of the car to replace the lower piece correctly.
Your instructions indicate that is not necessary.

I, too, have the WeaponX full kit as you can see in my sig. The lower valance replacement was just that.
Granted, I had one of the first valances Ben had shipped, but it only required the lower valance removal. Perhaps the mold has changed a bit?
You can also find the Upper Valance Removal here in the DIY section.

I will tell you the Z06 grills are much better constructed than the flimsy LT1 grills.

Do NOT REMOVE the whole bumper on c7 corvette
I searched everywhere for information on if the entire bumper has to be removed on the 2014-2016 rear end to repaint the bottom half. Well good news you don't have to do very much to get it off.
1. Remove the ten 7mm bolt on bottom.
3. Remove the two 10 mm bolts above the exhaust.
4. Pop off the mud flaps and remove the two 15 torx screws on each side.
5.On the bottom edge of bumper by the wheel pop the bumper loose from the upper part of the facia separating the two colored sections.
6. Now you can put your hand under the bumper and pop the red reflectors off the back.
7. Lastly remove the two 10 mm bolts on each side where the reflectors were and you are done. The bumper bottom will fall off in your hands.
Total time is less than 30 min and you can do by yourself. Then you can get the bottom painted. Installation is easier wish I had video taped it but you won't need that anyway. Good luck. Now mine is color coded to rest of car
