Default Top Secret anyone?

Does anyone have have experience with Top Secret parts? (no pun intended)

I'm considering their new ventilated hood for my roadster, and was wondering if anyone on the forum has any of their products and could vouch for their quality (fit and finish).

I dont like it, just my opinion though. I also hate hoods that have pins.

i highly recommend top secret. the finish is astounding. fitment adjustments were very, very minor. i personally believe that their parts fit as well as oem parts.

Like everyone says, finish is astounding. The fiberglass that my kit is made of is probably the nicest kit I've seen made outta fibglass. Only reason I didn't get the hood is cuz it looks like nostrils.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the feedback. I can see the nostrils thing, but I'm still partial to this hood. If I decide to go with it I'll have to post pics.

I purchased the TS carbon fiber front lip and I currently sport it on my Z. I like the way it looks and that it was supposedly tested in a wind tunnel. That being said let me focus on few details. Only a small portion of the lip is made of a very thin layer of carbon fiber 15%, the rest of the lip is entirely fiberglass 85%. There were some slight fitment issues, which resulted in me filing down several sections of the lip. In my opinion the entire piece should be made of carbon fiber and the fit should be close to perfect for $800 - $1,000.
