since this was made before i was born i figured i would post this on the flame capitol of the world before i put this on my car thinking its real.

These are shitty pics of a Do-Luck Rear Crossbar i picked up.. i was told their were 2 version of this and this might be the "newer version" but after looking at a real first gen one and looking at this im not sure.

the version i looked at had 3 nuts. 2 to lock and one to adjust.. or maybe it was 2.. but this has one


the other version the end was L shaped.. this one isnt


lastly is the picture of the plaque.. both look similiar

 

Here's my authentic bar for comparison:



You can see the ends are flat pieces in much better shape than those and without the "nubs" sticking out. Also, there is no badge or nameplate on my bar. It's possible it's in the hardware bag but doubtful. All I see it contains is a sticker, a wrench, and instructions I can't read.

Yours doesn't look anything like mine. I can take better pictures for you this weekend if it'll help. Based on what I see in that one, I wouldn't buy it.

 

its fake

 

yea i seen a couple rear ones and pointed out the differences in them... dont recall if the other ones i seen have the name plate or not. but that looks exactly like the one a few of my friends have. they are car specific so maybe it is for another car. i havnt even tried to see if this one fits. can you mesuare the OD of the bar?

can anyone confirm if there are 2 versions of this bar? i was told that there was but havnt seen another one

 

The outer diameter is 42mm.

 

That plaque looks fishy. I cant recall seeing a Do Luck bar with a plaque like that.

I know Arospeed, a knockoff company from back in the day, made a bar like that for awhile.

 

I've got one with three locking nuts, no plaque and one knib at either end that you drill a hole into the frame and then spead the brace apart to push outwards against the chassis and yes mine is 100% genuine.

 

who cares? if its cheaper than the real thing and practical, why not purchase the item.
