Thumbs down ASMA ruins another Mercedes-Benz (CLS, S-Class)

I don't know about you guys but these are the ugliest kits I've ever seen made for a high end car. Is some new trend toward ugly cars in Europe? I've noticed it's very popular to have wild colors and thick full faced wheels with super huge lips that look terrible imo. To each his own. Maybe someone here on CL will like these 2 benzo's.
Included is a link of pics from the Essen show. Hope this isn't a repost.

The S looks good, like the lip on the wheels, but hate the stock fenders The CL on the left I really hope that is a joke. I cant imagine anyone thinking that looks good
