So, since your version comes from Japan, does this come w/ authentic label on the product and on the box packaging as well?

No, seriously. I'm very interested in this product. However, what I would like to know is that if this product sold by BulletProof in association w/ Japan Do Luck, comes w/ some type of authentic label on the trunk itself and boxing.

I ask this because I saw the real deal Do Luck and it does come with a authentic label for it.

We haven't received any of the trunks yet so there is no way to know for sure, but I don't doubt that Do-Luck will put the same labels on their FRP trunks as their carbon trunks. Here are pictures of the labels on the carbon trunks. Either way the trunks will be absolutely authentic from Do-Luck in Japan and we have no interest in selling replicas that would compromise our relationship with Do-Luck.

Since Bulletproof have made a co partnership w/ Do Luck Japan, how could the company not know of this from the beginning? A product this Large should have a seal on it. Especially when it came from JAPAN! FRP or Not, this is important.

Let me guess, Bulletproof seal?

I ask this because, as a paying customer, I would like to know that my hard earned money is well spent. Not just because it looks nice and fits well, a Japanese LABEL/SEAL is a must especially when it's being sold off as JAPAN made. A product can't be just sent off from Japan without any proof of authenticity. If it were to be picked up directly from the warehouse, would the box shipped off from Japan still be available?

How about instruction manual and paperwork pre-sealed in a plastic bag guaranteeing Japanese made authenticity?

That picture you provided with label and authentic seal is the the REAL Do Luck JAPAN.

We did know about this product from the beginning because Do-Luck is only making the product at our request. We negotiated directly with Ito of Do-Luck Japan for the lowest price possible and we're the reason why this trunk even exists. We have a long history of working directly with Do-Luck Japan and we have never sold any knockoffs in the 10 years we've been in business.

This trunk is not an exception. It is a genuine Do-Luck trunk from Japan. If you have any question at all about the authenticity of this product or our relationship with Do-Luck please give us a call at 213.745.6954. I'm not sure where the uncertainty about this is coming from, but I'd like to personally reassure everyone that we do not sell knockoffs and never will.

And the FRP trunk we are selling is also from the "REAL Do Luck JAPAN" which is why I would expect it to come with exactly the same labeling. However, since these are the first trunks of their kind, we won't know how Do-Luck plans to label them until they arrive.

We do offer a painting service, but we cannot do it for that price unfortunately. There really is no breathing room on the price of the trunk and we'll be happy to work with you on the painting, but there's only so far we can go.
