Default Top Secret Diffuser Pics (C/F)...

1... Crappy resize, I was in a hurry. I will post some better pics when I get the S-tune Suspension in, and put all my other mods on.

I got this from robertchen (that is his screen name), his website is www.projectfairladyz.com

That looks tight!

I want I want! Only problem is - I did a currency exchange on the price off of TopSecret's webpage:

72,000 Yen = $615!!!!

Damn, please tell me you did not pay that much! Also, I couldn't find the price on the site you listed.

Good luck with the mods!

I paid a little more than that.... It does extend under the car quite a bit (about as far as the stock panel, and it channels some air to the front brakes.

Thanks guys.

It is a direct bolt on, uses the front bolts that hold the bumper on (12? at the front, bottom), plus four others (2 middle and 2 at the back, I left the 2 middle ones out for now). Took about an hour to install in my small, really hot garage. The corners did scratch some of the paint off the bumper (cant see it), but I was pretty careless putting it on.

It does drop the front maybe and inch or so, I already got a small scrape on the first day, but it will be the first of many. The bottom is FRP, but it seems pretty duable.

Thanks Robert, and I look foward to seeing on PPW....

sorry to burst the bubble, but Top Secret does not wind tunnel test. If you've ever seen thier facility, you'd be amazed at how small of an operation it is. They simply cannot afford to Wind Tunnel test, many formula 1 teams can barely afford to wind tunnel test without major sponsorship $$$$.

Not sure if it is, but being an engineer I can say it "looks" much more aerodynamically efficient than anything else I have seen. I do know that Top Secret is a very small operation in Jpn, so....

Here are some pics Robert sent me with it off the car.

I thought I remember them saying they did, tho Im sure they do not have their own windtunnel even if they do.
