Some bad press for DD?

Definitely a concern if the parts don't fit like OEM...

I was considering some of their side skirts when I saw the posts.

Has anyone else installed DD kits?

I have the OEM M-Tech kit and fitment is perfect.

Just think: BMW designs that kit for their production M-Sport cars, they have to make it perfect fit for the automatic assembly lines. Robots don't know how to resolve fitment problems.

i have the kit... i have the rear and the sides skirts on... the side skirts went in PERFECTLY... very easy install... fitment is perfect. the rear.. i had trouble with it at first.. but just had to sand a little bit and it went in perfectly also. its not like OEM because its made out of fiberglass and it isnt as flexible.. but i got mine on fine.

my DD front bumper looks great, but my main problem is this: with my OEM bumper on, my wheels in the front were a very aggressive offset, that did not give me any rubbing problems. When I installed the DD front, the way that it bolts on to the fender sticks out, and the entire lip on the inside of the bumper wheel arch, is much thicker than OEM, so I had to go from a 15mm front wheel spacer, to a 5mm spacer to avoid horrendous rubbing issues i was having at first. This pisses me off, because now I cant run the aggressive offset I wanted, BUT-----------the bumper looks amazing on the other hand, and the grille it comes with, really fools people for an OEM part. If I had a choice to do it all over again, knowing what I now know, I would absolutely STILL choose the DD bumper.
