The front looks like the Admiration Createur, not so sure about the rear bumper and side skirts though. Looks like the kit was mixed and matched.

Here's what the Admiration Createur looks like

As long as you dont put these on your LS, I wont laugh at you. That kit does not look terrible. The only think that seems to be off about it is the exhaust tips have not been updated to fit the kit yet and are set back to far from the back lower bumper piece.

just uber ricey. Makes the car less classy and more racey. And they, of course, are not that fast or racey. To each their own.

Are you all serious? If that was molded in, and had some nice wheels, extended exhaust, it would look hot. (not sure about the front lip though... i would go for a WALD instead.
