Bulletproof and 370ZTune are the same company :tiphat:

and what you mentioned is true. I am not going to name drop, but long story short, another company gray marketed Top Secret USA (us) and started distributing the Top Secret G37 kit left and right. It was only 2-3 months after that a replica product was released and Top Secret Japan was furious; as were we because we found out that someone went around the proper channels which resulted in improper distribution of a JDM product and also misrepresented one of our most valuable relationships.

When we go to Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 we have a meeting with Top Secret for damage control and amends; hopefully together we will find a resolution to regain the power and control of the authentic item.

Right now, Top Secret Japan's main question to us is "If so many people already buy other kit, why should we offer it outside of Japan?". I leave this question to the enthusiasts who care to answer it.

Bc it should be offered as a rare piece, top secret is one of the top ten tunning companies in the world, why cant they sue the sh!t out of people reproducing their products. Put me on the list for their original parts and thats why this country is the way it is bc people copy instead of being original

Thanks GILMAN NISSAN :)

Man that sucks, I'd honestly have to say TOP SECRET is hands down my favorite tuning house in Japan. That being said, I'm glad they did what they had to do to ensure the "No knock-offs" policy. Just sucks because I really wanted that lip but I'll gladly pay the price to know that TOP SECRET parts aren't being whored out like so many other precious JDM pieces.

Just to clarify what Hunter said, Top Secret stuff is still being distributed to the US (we're a dealer too, and love their stuff!) - the G37 kit, however, is not being offered outside of Japan at the present time

Thanks for the clarification. Yes I probably should have specified that it is strictly the G37 kit that is not being distributed on an international level; all other Top Secret goodies are still available for order (Even the new Z34 370Z carbon lip ;)).

can you get me a price on what we spoke about

theDreamer 11-16-2009 09:36 PM

Is Top Secret going to create a full new front bumper or just a front lip?
