It looks like the driver's side of your Do-Luck sits a little higher (notice the taillight lines). Mine did that too when I first got it. Took some adjustment of the brackets to make it sit a little cleaner and flush.

Nevertheless, well done. Dope shots as usual.

It is a bit off. I'll get around to adjusting it some more.

Looking good Jesse!

Thanks for the review also, the fitment is more of an adjustment -- I had to do a similar thing to get my own Do Luck trunk to close after installing it. Then again, I did it by myself in my garage when I probably should have had at least another set of hands to help out haha. But I share the sentiments on the weave, it's pretty amazing considering these things are done on a build to order basis!

Car is awesome. Quick question. How does the ARC intercooler go at keeping the boosted air from the Black cool? I thought it would be too small for that turbo.

The locking mechanism and lock latch on the bumper require adjustment, but one of the screw holes is a bit off. We had to be very careful with that, but the screw went in. After buying the other body parts I know that nothing aftermarket fits perfectly. The Varis front bumper had to be shaved near one of the headlights and the Test & Service pops out a little if you look very closely, but the body shop owner who worked on both of those commented that for non OEM pieces they fit excellently. His general policy is not to accept any non OEM work because he says in the past when his company did aftermarket work the fitment was atrocious, but being a customer of mine he accepted.

Fitment is important to me, but I also highly value the finish and originality. This is a great piece.

Canon 50D and I used my 70-200 2.8L for this shoot. People always ask me, and I have to be honest--the gear isn't what makes the picture. It's a culmination of experience, technical knowledge, good gear, and good editing. I've been doing photography for 8 years and started with a Nikon FM10 processing my film and prints in a darkroom. The entrants into digital photography have no idea how easy and convenient digital makes it. Anyway, I mainly shoot food photography https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/9745709-post19.html

I'm not sure. I'll let you know when the motor is built and we do an aggressive tune.

great photos as usual Jesse , very clean setup now with the Do-Luck trunk.

Do you happen to know what sort of alignment work you are running currently ?
