I haven't used any of those CF parts but would guess they are ok, not great but should be able to be installed in a few hours. and a shop would be able to handle them no problem. you will not feel as bad destroying a splitter or diffuser when they are cheaper. a genuine vorstiner or other name brand will be a couple of thousand just to get scraped around and ruined. buy yourself a new one when its destroyed, they are cheap enough.
I daily mine and i do all my own maintenance. just the proper maintenance goes a long way.

Thanks for the response
I did look at the bimmer-tech one, the only thing I am worried about with that upgrade, is if it voids my warranty... Also, I already have the touch controller, so I guess my install would be fairly simple? I don't care about other fancy stuff -- existing features must work, car play and the nice looking display. How much did it run you total? Also, you have a link to your write up?
For the CF parts, I think I will go with the cheaper ones. What you said makes sense ... might as well get another new set if they get scraped.
Yes, I do all the recommended maintenance on all my cars. Just wondering if this one has some sort of an Achilles heel that I need to pay extra attention to?
