Im so so sick of people not looking into this before asking. Theirs a sticky that tells you all about the truth in the myth behind "voiding your warranty"
No dealership can ever EVER legally "void" your warranty due to putting an aftermarket part on it.

also, if you are really that worried about something being screwedup from your after market parts, if you have to take your car in for warranty work, then put your old parts back on. unless you screwed up something up on the install, they shouldn,t be able to tell
