Thanks to

Tony135, uberschnell, and a few others for answering my questions in regards to this project. Not reinventing the wheel here, just another boring 1M conversion -- haha! Hopefully some of the pics will help the next guy in line -- so lets get to it.
Note: I broke this build into different sections/threads. The page was getting so big that even I had trouble following or finding things at times. This conversion has many phases. I've done my best to group them in a manner which is easy to understand and navigate.

Notes & Updates:
(*1) Verify that you're getting the correct part.
(*2) This set includes front and rear covers. Front covers should come installed with the front bumper, so chances are you'll have spares. NO other way to go around it -- you need this for the rear covers.
(*3) The diffuser costs about $500+. At that rate, it doesn't make much sense to go with OEM when a nicer CF aftermarket diffuser starts around the same price. If you want the OEM look, then go with Seibon. If you want to step it up, then go with ModeCarbon. If you want to really get crazy, then go with RevoZport.
(*4) After tons of research, these are the correct parts. For reference, they are E92-M3 fender liners. Unfortunately...these don't "pop" right in. Everyone goes about the conversion differently, which ultimately dictates fitment. In other words, you'll have to modify them (cut/trim), to make it work for you. There is another possible solution available (if you absolutely need them to fit 150% without modification). PM me if you're interested.
