You really don't need those alu bling parts, they certainly won't make you faster. This car will be, out of the box, very very competitive.
Yeah I agree. Plastic parts are fine, nothing wrong with the towers for sure. Mine will stay in my spares box in case I break a carbon one. cheaper than keeping a carbon spare, like you had to with the bmax4iii. Front gear casing looks very solid also.

The only plastic parts a didn't like were the servo posts. I've picked up the alloy part today.

Mine is built, wiring tonight along with a few options to go on.

Rear hangers offer no toe and squat adjustment, you'll want the alloy ones and pils to do that. looks like there is a couple of spacer options coming for underneath the hangers, but I've not yet seen them as not in stock. coming soon.
