Damn! That looks AWESOME! 
What %, brand and type of tint did you get? That's next on my list!
PS I don't recall, do you have Comfort Access? (I'd heard some tints might interfere with CA use)

Lotus - I have Comfort Access and tint...no issues. Huper Optik Ceramic 35% all around. The transponder for CA is in the shark fin I think, so tint shouldn't have an impact. Could be wrong tho

Thanks for the reply gummy. I'd heard from some they thought metallic tints might cause interference... But I know quite a few on forums that have CA and tint, but I thought to ask to be safe, in case this car's finicky. I'm having issues with my CA working 50% of the time, so I'll hold off with the tint until it's fixed to make sure.

My Ride: 2008 535xi Touring - KW Var 3 Coilovers, VMR V710 20x9" wheels, Falken 452 245/35/19" Tires, OEM M5 Front Bumper, OEM M5 Front Fenders, OEM M5 Mirrors, Hamman Style CF Front Lip, Matte Black Kidney Grills, 20% Tint, B&W BMW Roundels.
Thanks guys for the nice comments!
Tint is some type of Nano tint ... its 20% all around and 45% on the windsheild ... the Nano tint cuts out 70-80% of the heat and is well worth the extra $$$
I also ordered up some new tires as these are just way to small. Moved up to some 245/30/20s all around. This is about a 1/2" thicker/taller then the the current fronts.
I also got the center caps installed, and replaced the CF emblems with plain black and white ones. The CF ones that I put on the car yellowed only 2 weeks of being on the car, so I would recommend staying away from them.

Over the weekend I got some of the parts installed. Since my car is space gray the hood and doors have to be blended with the new bumper and fenders. As a result the body shop shot them with a base coat and then wanted me to install the parts and bring the entire car into them:
