Body Kits
Depends on what kind of style you like.
Brabus is very low key, that's for someone who wants to fly under the radar. Quality is truly top notch with Brabus and Lorinser. It's less showy and more performance oriented.
Lorinser, in my opinion looks the best, but is also the most gaudy. It is usually the choice of preference for the neavou riche, minority groups, and people who try to show off. Even though I don't fall into this stereotype, I still would go for the Lorinser. The Lorinser is also more for show, as it does little for performance.
Carlsson, I'm not entirely familiar with Carlsson products, but I think that they fall somewhat inbetween the two. In my opinion, stick with either Lorinser or Brabus, better service network. I like Kleenman myself but I never consider their products because they are not German.
Goodluck. I think that you should go for the Lorinser.

Carlsson CR-S would be a good choice. I really love the mesh of the front and rear bumpers. I wish I could buy one set. Moreover, your rear would look extremely nice with the quad exhaust. Brabus is also very good.

Whichever one makes you happy. No matter what, no point of asking us cuz really it's your car and you can't let us dictate what is going to make you happy.
I personally like the Carlsson CR-S the best out of all 3, but that's just me. You pick what you want and what you're gonna be happy with for the remainder of time you own the car.

Personally ...Carlsson's the best looking and most rare. However some people might not like the idea of FRP bodykit. Just go with what you like the best.
FIY, Brabus's made of PUR. Lorinser uses FRP for some kit and PUR for some other (i.e. the roof spoiler and trunk spoiler are PUR, but Edition bumpers for W203 are FRP) Carlsson use vacuum formed FRP. Expression uses FRP as well. Not sure what material Kleemann uses. AMG uses P.P. and is actually the lightest of all bodykits.
btw, did you just guessed the prices? or did those came from a retailer? because you over guessed the price for Lorinser add-ons (without the roof and trunk spoiler) and under guessed Brabus and Carlsson.

7pm, sounds fine bro. I'll head out from work around 615, anticipating heavy traffic. What exit off the 10 again? I can never remember how to get there. PM me when you get the chance.
