Default Is this a new Top Secret bodykit?

Below is a picture from boomplustoys which shows a Top Secret bodykit on a car from the Tokyo Auto Salon but it looks a bit different from the one that's been out for a while. The front bumper on this car has a strip across the openings on the sides of the bumper (I have attached a picture of the kit that's been out which shows those holes being wide open) and the sideskirts on this car doeesn't have a vent groove in the back (see my other picture).

I like this kit better than the previous one. Anyone have more pictures or info on this kit?

the front bumper is slightly differnt with the bar on each of the side vents,.

side skirts are different, more rounded off.

but if you look closely, the front fenders seem to be wide fenders.

Didn't notice that about the front fenders but you're right. I think this kit looks better than the first one. Would like to see some more angle shots. Hopefully somebody will post more.

Agree with the widebody comment made above. Check out how deep the dish is on the front wheels, I have not seen a lip that wide on any regular-flared Z's out there.

looks like a top secret widebody kit.

this kit has replacement rear bumper too!!!!!!!

i like this kit better htan the first top secret kit and it flows better on the car, especially with the rear gt-wing.

here is a pic of the rear courtesy of gruppe-s.

NEone with release info?
i badly scratched both front and rear bumpers.
someone hit-n-run on the fenders too.
perfect kit for my car (othe than repairs)
BTW is the rear also wide body?
its looks wide if u see closely in the lights (or r our cars like that? never paid close attention on that side)
