As for the BMW lip trunk spoiler on the new 5 series, my friend just bought a cheap one off ebay, same as from the dealer, and while very small, looks great on the car. The spoiler on my 2006 750i was HUGE! looked great, but completely different look. A small spoiler on that car looked idiotic, I tried it and removed it.
I know what you mean by losing the logo in the grill. To be honest, I don't think I want to though. Although my first priority is trying to see if the RS6 grill will fit in our housing. As for the trunk I am thinking a gloss black set of rings to go with the tinted tail lights. I think the contract on the blue would work as well as again, I personally want the rings showing.

I know what spoiler you had for your 7 series. My buddy has a 750il (or is it LI?) and he has an AC Shcneitzer on his. Looks good and is big, but so is that car. So it works.

Dupli-color has a chrome tinting kit. You spray light coats of the base until it's the darkness you want then coat it with clear.

Yes, I had the genuine AC Schnitzer trunk spoiler. It's really expensive, normally. Around a grand or so, at the time. I got mine on sale for around $600. It looked great on the car since the car is so big. I miss that car. Don't miss the issues and the trips to the dealer, but no car, including the A8 was nearly as fun to drive for such a big car. But the gas mileage, wow, sucked. I really want a new 750 but at $60k used, think i'll wait awhile.

It's funny, I HATE tinted tail lights, but on your blue car, really looks sharp and not at all ghetto. Must be the color. I'd never do it on my black car. Wish I had the blue now! Wasn't even on the lot when I chose mine.

I wanted black tail pipes but after driving mine 12000 miles, they're black!

Another alternative for emblems is Plasti Dip.

Do the DIP. I did the DIP on the grill and its fine. I might do the audi rings in the front.
