Thumbs down Do-Luck Body Kit REVIEW.

Do-Luck body kit review

Cons

1. Defficult to install (Be ready to do some customization)
2. None of the part under the car did not fit (Under panel, fender liners, etc)
3. Too LOW!
4. Support SUCKS
5. No hardware
6. No instruction.
7. Quality SUCK, a lot of mold imperfections to correct before paint.
8. be ready to wait, wait, wait, wait that I forgot to say wait!

Pros
1. The back bumper looks awesome!

Sorry People, but I am really disappointed at the Do-Luck body kit. I which I kept my Nismo JDM body kit.

Cesar

Lol, thank gawd the only pro you had is exactly what I wanted to hear, I would only order the do-luck rear bumper.

How was the rear bumper to install though?

You will need to modify the liners and removed the bumper foam.

I absolutely agree!!!!! The bodykit is one of the worst ones to install. My Ings kit has been the best so far.

Wow, sorry to hear that. The fitment on my kit was very good according to the shop; they've only had to make minor adjustments to line up the bumpers and fenders. They also stated the quality of the fiberglass was very good and it looks 1000% better than the "crappy" Veilside V3 hood. The hood will need much, much more prep and adjustments than the Do-Luck pieces. The kit is definitely low and Do Luck's service is not good.

Cesar, do you have any pics so far?

Ron

How much is just the Do-Luck rear bumper. As Cesar said, the JDM body kit fits perfectly. And, I still think it is one of the cleanest full kits out there. Only thing I don't like are the mini-rear 1/4 additions. Much rather have a full bumper attachment or replacement. May consider the Do-Luck rear if the price is right.

My wald kit was flawless in terms of fitment.

Sucks to hear that the do-luck had issues because it looks so good. Definitely my favorite full bumper replacement kit.
