Although maybe its an ethnic, cultural or socioeconomic thing which I don't understand, which is fine.
Its an interesting question as to why that is.

Brabus C,
you live in So. Cal too. So you should understand that this kit would not be too flashy, but rather would fit in quite nicely out here. Bottomline, get the kit, it looks really good. It has clean lines that complement the car.
Just ignore the people who say it doesn't look good, SoCal240/6. Some people simply will never understand. A mercedes aftermarket tuner like brabus is not tacky and is rather well respected thoughout the world for making first rate mods. Now that yamaha with the bling blings is.

i like the brabus kit. in my opinion, not too crazy about the lorinser - mainly b/c of the little triangular meshes on the sides as said earlier. not too crazy about the brabus wheels either.
don't forget to checkout wheelexperts.com (and, just in case i seem to push them a lot, i don't work for them
i just like their site b/c they have tons of pics! 
)

Carlsson lip...
I purchased a "fake" (that's our little secret) rear and front Carlsson lip on Ebay a month or so ago. Was rather sceptical at first, but it all turned out very very well. Purchased both pieces for $350 and then had it painted and installed for $150. What a deal I got! And believe me...the paint job and install was top quality despite the low price. The Carlsson lips are clean and can easily be taken off if you ever want to sell the car. However, if I could afford to spare the cash...I would have bought the Lorinser kit.

Brabus C,
My car will look almost exactly like yours, I'm in the process of getting the Brabus Kit, just because I would like to stay with one tuner or brand. I too don't like anything to flashy, I like it conservative like RLNTHEC's Car.
Brabus is quite pricey, however if you can afford multipiece monoblocks then you can afford the brabus kit I'll be posting a pic of my car as soon as I get the kit installed.
It will look identical to the picture posted by Brabus C:p

i would go with the Brabus complete kit or the Carlsson add-on kit. IMO the Lorinser kits are just flat out weird. they have too much unnecessary holes and fenders that hardly do anything except making the car looks bad. i.e. the triangle mesh thingy on the side skirt and mesh on the rear bumper.
and NO, with nice body kit like Brabus and Carlsson, it will not look tacky as long as you can keep'em scratch free and no large paint chips that will show the real color of the bumper.
