yeah, licensing is probably out of the question. And I imagine they would never move any production over here since it's a such a slim market; that would be like throwing money away...

I love the Top Secret kit. I could buy the kit, and have it fitted and painted. But regardless of the fact that I can easily afford it, I just couldn't stomach spending that much on a kit alone. No matter how good it looked on my Z, I would always view it as a complete waste of money =/

diff strokes for diff folks.

I don't think this is a kit that TS plans to sell hundreds of. Heck, I would doubt even less costly kits (ala INGS half type) sell hand over first either here or in Japan either...even they are relatively costly for a bodykit.

How much extra width does the kit add in the rear? And is it possible to get the rear parts only?

Thanks,
Az

The fenders widen it 50mm, which is around 2 inches. How wide car the rims be depends on your offset choice and camber adjustments.

phile - I did not mean to offend you with my statements. I just find that the more expensive products in life usually equal exclusivity. I find that to be true in life and won't argue anymore about it. Again, sorry if what I believe doesn't agree on your side.

No, actually I agree with you. I just thought it was a crappy reason for such high USD prices as compared to Yen prices. As was explained, its actually not the reason for the high USD prices.

Btw, you never really "offended" me. That's what I hate about the internet. Not at one point was I mad/offended/etc. I just like to argue. It is I who should apologize. I'm sorry for making you think I was angry or offended.

Finals week is next week, and I have a ~90 page Management analysis to hand in monday, a paper on the effect of nanotechnology on the future economy due tuesday, half of a take home final on statistical quality control, and 5 finals next week. I've been in an argumentative mood for the past two weeks.

I cannont confortablly afford this kit but if i could i would buy it NO QUESTIONS! I mean when you break it down for $5,700 you get:
-Front Bumper
-Front Fenders
-Side Skirts
-Rear Fenders
-Rear bumper

that is alot of peices i dont believe 5,700 is all that bad and im pretty sure the number isnt written in stone

Thanks Mr. B. My management analysis turned out to weigh in at only about 60 pages. 60 solid pages though. None of that double or single spacing crap

Very soon and I'm a graduate!

ss350, good luck with finals!

No, the widebody Top Secret kit can only be purchased as a complete kit. Top Secret will not sell individual parts without proof that someone already bought the kit and damaged the individual parts they need to purchase.


By the way, we will have two more of these kits in stock soon. For anyone serious about getting one, let us know.

The kit is 50mm wider on each side. (as B said, 50mm is about 2 inches)

Do you guys have some sort of write-up for the installation?

Thanks,

Az,
Installing the kit is pretty straight forward, I can translate the Japanese install manual if needed.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Considering the price of the kit, yes I would like to know more about it before I make a purchase decision. Therefore, if you would please translate the instructions manual that would be a great service to all.

Thanks,
Az
