The Lines model slopes out a little more gently than the basic lines. Additionally, I could not figure out how to attach the Luxury "whiskers" to the lower intake grills.
Having said that, however, I did add the center chrome strip (part number 51117279700) quite easily. All I did was snap off the plastic ears and use some Dupont heavy duty 2-sided tape that I cut to fit on the back of the piece. Have washed the car, got caught in a heavy rain and have driven several hundred miles and it holding on quite well. Did the same on the rear bumper.
Maybe it was me, or maybe had to use the Modern line "whiskers"??

AN ADDITION: While the basic lower intake grills had a round hole next to the fog light opening, the Lines version had an additional (more like a slot) -- but with Luxury "whiskers" couldn't figure out how line up.
