Default Authentic Do-Luck Bodykits 350z still in Production?

Hey there ladies and gents. Was just wondering if anyone knows if Do-Luck Japan is still making one of the best looking best fitting bodykits for the 350z now that the 370z is out. If so are they special order,6 plus month wait? I am refering to just the front, skirts, rear and carbon diffuser for rear. No fenders, hood, or wing. Any vendors have dealings with do-luck anymore where I could get some info? Only vendor I knew that could source is defunct now and Do-Luck USA well..... Sincere thanks for any help someone could provide.

Thank you,

Minus

PS - Not interested in info on replicas even tho they might be good quality.

sorry. if you want this kit, you have to go replica. it will be damn near impossible to find a vendor with one in stock.

believing any bodykit will fit perfectly is asinine.

your kit is ONLY as good as your installer.

Youre absolutely right lgear. I would not expect to just slap it on then screw it in especially by myself. There are a few things u must do to this kit on front like removing plastic pieces and cushions but this kit is known to be in the top 2 or 3 for great fitament. I did say one of the "best fitting" not perfect. Even OEM can be a pain to get on a lot of times. Most of the signs pointed to discontinued but Id still hear of people getting the fenders from Do-Luck Japan somehow.

Thanks for the quick replies all, much appreciated.

try bulletproof. they may have some component you're looking for.

otherwise you're stuck w/ grey market. that said, this is not a kit that
people tend to "complain" about in terms of fitment.

I got mine about a year and a half ago....just the front and rear fenders. I ordered from Intense and it was special order from Japan...Waited about 16-17 weeks. It was a long time, but the fit was pretty much flawless...The kit is expensive and my guess would be the front,back, and sides would fit just as good. Get in touch with the guys at Intense and see what they say. Here is mine, of course I did the fenders in CF.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have thrown away there molds, and it might just be a case that there only made to order now. Long wait time i can imagine though.

in response to the demand for this.. i saw this stuff at Intense this week and saw this thread, thought to post it for you.. they do a really good nismo bumper as well.. very decnt stuff, and will take fitment just like anyother, but at least it wont have thick or shortened flanges and warped contours from being pulled off a mold like the crap stuff does.

http://intensepower.com/absdydostfuk.html

its a super cheap kit replica Do LUCK full kit, and its ABS... and its 540 bucks. UBER CHEAP.

the overall quality is pretty good, and its not knock off choppepr gun fiberglass like the grey market stuff generally is.

Send a PM to Pete at intense sales ( hes on my friends list) and hell tell you EXACLTY what to expect for quality.

I've been looking for a shop that sells replica, couldn't find any really.. but thanks for posting Intense's link, now that i bought a replica TS diffuser it's no use. i'll have to wait till this gets busted, then go for a rear Do-Luck bumper

Pretty standard stuff.

I am a ***** for Intense, yes... you have found me out. But since they are an awesome shop and hook me up beyond belief ( just for being a loyal customer), I always post thier links when it applicable.. I do still shop elsewhere.
I was referring to your "buy authentic" sig and your buy replica recommendation.s

Do-Luck Japan still makes this kit for the Z33.

I like your buy authentic unless you can find a good replica line. lol

How do know about the fitament of this replica? Have you seen the bumper or test fitaments? That pic they are using is of Darren's authentic kit...

Nah man.. not what i meant... if Do luck still makes it, then fer sure.
What i said was if you CANNOT buy authentic, buy from a reputable kit.
"Just giving my ..vote of approval for buying a GOOD fake if you have to"
I agree the pic is a stock pic of Darrens car which is authentic.
