do-luck trunk vs Replicas....
How do you spot a replica/fake do luck trunk from the real one? I know there are some fitment or quality issues, but is there a badge or a seal that says Do-Luck underneath the trunk?

I consider Do-Luck as real/authentic since they came up with the design and then the rest "replicated" or "Copied" the design....?

+1 The authentic trunk was made/designed by Do-Luck. There are knock-offs such as Vis, Seibon, and others just like every other CF part out there.

I believe the Do-Luck trunk has a metal tag/badge inside the trunk their Emblem and a serial number for each trunk.

Quality of the weave. If you look at them side by side you can tell the difference.
