Gruppe-S has a replica. Around 300 bucks. The search button is your friend.

They can also get you a real one. That one's 700 bucks.

Last time I checked, that was a Varis replica. Thats why its called V-style...

Someone on the board has a replica Do-Luck tho, try that search again buddy. If you can't find anything on "Do-Luck Lip" somethin is wrong.

According to the TopGear review of the FQ-400, there's something wierd about the airflow over the Do-Luck lip spoiler. Jeremy Clarkson was saying that it caused some kind of problem with the wheel well linings coming loose over 100 mph or so.

Sounds like the Do-Luck spoiler is all show and no go. And $700 seems like a lot to pay for a cosmetic add-on that interferes with normal use.

500whp.com is doing a group buy! I think the lowest price is $500 if we get enough people (21). This is for the authentic carbon fiber do-luck lip.

Call Cal at Gruppe-S. They also have a DO-Luck style replica.

Some of the guys on this board who have the Do-Luck report no anamolies like were observed in the Top Gear video.
