I looove Top Secret and all, and have always bought authentic parts...but someone REALLY needs to replicate these.

350 bucks (w/o paint) for those simple clean looking "mudguards" is outrageous, it might as well be a whole bumper.

Until then I'll just twiddle my thumbs.

ask if whomever you are gonna buy them from is willing to do a gb.

i was interested in this for awhile, but just can seem to justify spend over $300 for mudguards. not to mention the costs to paint and the time waiting for it from Japan.

i even tried on my friend's g35c rear mudguards to see if it could be easily modified to fit my z's rear bumper.

These are nice. IMO it would be perfect it you shaved the bottom of the mudguard to follow the line of the wheel well, it kinda curves too much past the arch like already mentioned.

hey now, they're one of the few aero parts we have for sale around that price honestly though, $350 is cheaper than how much you'd spend on a rear bumper or rear lip.

Has anyone tried the C-West rear under fins? Performance Nissan carries PFRP versions for $290: http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...oducts_id=5066

They appear to be similar in design with a bit more shaping to them. I wonder how these would look with the Nismo sides?

hah true,

But if I was to spend that much it'd be pretty distinctive and scream "top secret".
It's just so subtle and clean. Unlike the rest of Top Secret's awesome aeroparts, this rear valence seems like something generic that can easily be replicated. TS went and designed such a neutral piece. I'm just being honest.

No disrespect.

Well some lady hit the back of the car the other day. I am going to see if I can mold those guards right into the bumper. Hopefully it will work!

Definatley not getting rid of them. The first time I saw them on zillions car, I wanted them. When I heard he was gonna sell them, I jumped all over it. I love the way they look, and if they can be molded to the bumper, they will look even better. When I called my body guy to tell him about the damage, he jokingly said, "eh, the rear bumper needed to resprayed anyways!" I was like thanks rubbin it in ***hole!! But it goes in the shop monday. I will post some new pics if he mold em in.

No disrespect.
There is a reason for not doing a full rear bumper...



We like our rear diffusers

Regardless of the design, didn't your mother ever teach you it's wrong to steal?

That's the longnose version widebody rear bumper. Personally, it's my favorite rear. Inspired by the JGTC designs but follows the lines of the car better.
