Looks great dave! How much extra did you have to pay to make the entire car one-tone. They were trying to tell me it would costs thousands because they need to remove that chrome strip around the car.
I want to do the same once I get the other Wald Kit in, probably in the next few months.
Let me know,

Hmm, I don't recall the exact cost but I think it was around $1600- $1700 for the full works including prepping, painting and installing the l-sportline kit front, sides and rear (color matching on my color LS was very difficult from what I was told). I *think* that the additional cost to do the doors below the molding (the only part left to paint since the bumpers and OEM sides were being replaced) was an incremental $300.

$1600 - 1700 total, including the $300. Note this is from memory and I'm running short of that lately. I've had a LOT of work on my GS done at this place (and a lot done recently), so I may be getting a better deal than usual.

In short, it's just for looks and it does look good with the L-sportline kit. It hangs down fairly low so with the LS lowered I scrape sometimes going in and out of driveways.

Thanks Bruce Funny thing I've recently got the itch for a new ride and am considering de-modding/selling the LS and buying a new IS350 or ES350 as a beater. It's such an awesome car I really can't justify it yet... but I'm working on it .
That I'm not sure of RA... I don't recall what the Wald looks like on the LS.
If it's a small lip, this picture may help you a bit - member SKperformance also has the same exhaust and posted a picture with it on the OEM rear bumper (hope he doesn't mind my using it here):
