What's up Patrick, it BJ. The trunk looks hot on that rotor glow but I can't wait to see it on my wicked white!

BREAKING NEWS!!

Bulletproof Automotive has reached an agreement with Do-Luck Japan to produce a limited edition FRP version of the now-famous duckbill trunk. This agreement is in in direct response to the requests and support of the EvoM community.

We have explained to Do-Luck that the market is looking for the same style and quality at a more affordable price.

This is what we have come up with:

- Pre-order only

- $795 USD, including all importation costs, duties and taxes to our Los Angeles warehouse (ocean importation)

-Note that this is a limited production run which is being produced exclusively for this purpose

-Please also note that due to the extremely low price, this item is not available for wholesale, sponsorship or any other price besides $795

We would like you all to understand that these trunks are the authentic item produced at the same factory by Do-Luck as the carbon version of the trunk which so many already admire. The trunk is identical to the carbon version except that the exterior finish will be a black gel-coat. Product weight will be within a couple of pounds of the carbon version. You may select with your order whether the trunk has a keyhole pre-drilled or not.

Due to costs being so high and sales price being so low we are only able to accept payment by check, cash or money order for this deal. Credit card transactions, if necessary, will entail and additional 3% processing fee.

Estimated lead time is approximately 3 months. California sales tax applies for local residents. Free pick-up is available at our Los Angeles warehouse. Any shipping charges to you will be calculated and applied when the trunks arrive and are ready to ship.

We are accepting orders now at 213.745.6954 or patrick@bulletproofautomotive.com

You can also take a look at it here and on the blog.

man, that sure is a bit steeper than i had thought but still very reasonable for a full trunk i suppose. i had only hoped more like 700 but not all wishes come true right? is this a down payment/pre-order type setup or are you guys gonna need the full 8 bills all up front??

Is it safe to assume that this FRP trunk is only for the X not the IX and VIII?

Do-Luck trunks are made in Japan. Once again this is a genuine Do-Luck trunk, just in FRP.

As far as the lead time goes, we are expecting a relatively large order and the trunks take time to make. Our ocean shipping process is extremely efficient so we will be getting these in as quickly as possible.

Do-Luck requires that we prepay for these trunks, so we typically require full payment from customers. However, we definitely want to work with people on this, so we might be able to discuss some other options on the phone if absolutely necessary.

Yes. However, the carbon version is available for the EVO VII and IX.
