OK to Install Aeromotions/Voltex on Do-Luck? - EvoXForums.com

11cz4a · 01-08-2013, 12:53 AM

I was wondering what your guy's thoughts on installing a Aeromtions/Voltex onto a Do-Luck

I was told by some vendors that it was a really really bad idea...

Would it be ok?

Better on the stock aluminum?

Buddy of mine has the APR on a do luck...I think he had custom mounts made though.

Just get a cheap CF trunk.

i have a doluck already but was told from Kaizen tuning that it was a bad idea and reinstall the OEM trunk.

who would be the best person/shop to ask?

I have the APR GTC-300 on a DL style trunk, no issues so far and it's been about 2 years.

Is yours a carbon fiber version as well?

^yes, he has the cf version.

I also just got a CF DL and Varis wing and im rethinking on installing both :/

The issue is that if you put an AM wing on, since it has a funky bracket, the bottom of the trunk needs to be cut up. We had to cut out our amazing VFDC Varis trunk to get it to fasten down. Same goes for the stock trunk.

its an amazing wing, but would hate to see you pop it on a nice Do-Luck, and then have to cut up the bottom.

i think hes asking more if the pressure and stress put on the trunk by the large wing is too much for the new trunk?

but if kaizen said its a bad idea it probably is. they did it to find the lightest most effective setup. do you need that?
