The drop looks perfect Janik, nice drop, and I like the chrome trim around the windows particularly with the LS.
As the other guys stated the back end is a different shade of LS. Definitely looks like its been re-sprayed at some point.

Look at the edges of the paint, and see if its rough. Also look for, different orange peel than the rest of the car, specks in the paint, and drips. Look on the underside of the bumper, some shops wont even sand/buff that because they know most people wont be looking under the car.

Heres a theory on the paint.
'Because if you did use a flash it's a lot brighter than normal daylight. And being that the bumper and the quarter panel are made of a different material, the super bright flash may aluminte the metal more than the plastic bumper. All the sparkles in it and ****.'
That and we shot these damn pics at noon LOL

Paint
I don't know if this will ease your suspicion or not but if you look at the "hue" (not sure if this is the right word) of the paint on the bumper it is the same as the paint on the trunk. If the rear was damaged enough to need a new trunk then the rear 1/4 panel would have needed to be painted as well but it does not look the same. I also think that you have some weird light working here. Look at how the rear 1/4 panel looks compared to the rest and then note that a small part of it is the same. I suggest you find an open area and take pictures without shadows and see how it looks.
I like the drop, it looks like stock. Stock as in thats how the car should have looked in the first place.
