Best is to take some time if needed to research and find a reputable shop that has at least some experience in mounting these non-OEM parts and has dealt, or better deals with aerodynamic components mods often. I would drive to them then even if they are located further away. I am prepared to drive a few hours to my favorite shop (mods, tuning or whatever treats to the car) when I think it's worth it and combined with a get-away trip whenever possible. But that may not be worth it for everyone.
I did some retrofts at BMW directly because they were original parts and because I know the SA there and also know they work top class in all respects. But generally, and with my previous cars, I most often did NOT go the dealer even when the mods involved OEM components.
