the vendor that handled the aftermarket solution is R1concepts (CL vendor).

you may be able to work with them on a solution for the LS.
though keep in mind the demand for a two piece solution is much less for the LS than others, so they may be less inclined to help.
they may charge a ton for the R&D for a one-off product for you!
