It is no fun putting the car back to stock to take it in for warranty work. Probably a good idea to hold off on the more serious mods until next summer. Everything should be straightened out by then.
Yes but technically cosmetic items can void your warranty. For example, if you tint your windows and something related to it such as the window seals or window motor they would technically say it voided it.

I forgot what the law is but basically they have to prove the item you installed played a role in the faulty item. They cannot void your warranty if your engine blew up, claiming you had an aftermarket spoiler installed.
