Hi guys. So I decided to go wingless on my 2011 RA and bought a Do Luck CF trunk. But I notice now that the cf trunk doesn't close flush with the rear quarter panels. Anyone know a remedy to fix this? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it an authentic Do Luck? Ive never had an experience with one that didn't fit 100% so far.

I'm 99.9% certain that it's an authentic do luck. But just to double check, what should I be looking for? Got any pics to compare with?

Here are some pics of an actual, authentic Do Luck. Im not sure if they'll help but I hope they will.

Authentic trunks will have this (this is njevo's that is currently FS)

Note the white lettering.. They are all serial numbered

Is that a Ralliart or Evo X in those pics? For my Ralliart, I notice a few problem areas:
1. There's a half-inch gap on each side of the trunk, between the edge of trunk and the body panels.
2. When closed shut, the trunk isn't 100% flush with the body panels, rising about quarter-inch on either side above the top surface of the rear quarter panels.

Adjusted the trunk bumps and shin it with washer in low spots

Body lines with respect to the trunk and the actual trunk deck lid itself are identical between RalliFART, base Lancer, Lancer GTS, Evo X GSR, Evo X MR, etc. It is the exact same body lines.

What you're failing to provide us is the info we're asking: do you have a Do-Luck or do you have a Mastergrade/Seibon/ShowstoppersUSA trunk? If you have an authentic Do-Luck, it might not fit too great even after making all adjustments possible. If you have one of the knock-offs it will definitely not fit too great after all adjustments. The authentic will likely still not be perfect (anybody who says it is would clearly be biased, Do-Luck does not make OEM quality fitment, but not too shabby I must say), but I've never seen a knock-off be even close to that. My own knock-off is... well... let's just say you get what you pay for lol :waiting:

Notice the gaps... they're not TERRIBLE, but they're far from good

Don't know about the gap? But, sometimes you can fix the lift problem with a single shock or diff shocks that aren't meant for use with a spoiler..

Just bought my seibon trunk, left side is slightly higher...playing around with the bumpers now...

I had to have my shop re-resin the edges, shape the edges, etc. Authentic as well. Now it's absolutley flawless, but not when I got it. Hey, it's fiberglass with a CF layer...whattaya want? From what I know, the DL trunks HAVE had some issues and returns lately. Close friend's as an example. It fit terribly.

shit i got so tired of CF issues, i just found an extra trunk and cut the excess metal out, its about 4lbs lighter now, and much lighter W/O the wing..

But that wing's so pretty...
I am really starting to like the wingless look tho. With the little decklid "spoiler"

How does it fit now? I'm looking to get one for my RA this summer.
