In the end that's what it is...top tier companies like ARC and TOP SECRET feed on one inability to make or create anything with thier own hands!

Titanium is expensive

Welding is harder than normal

Strut bar pictured above is well over 1k! Worth it?

No longer in business. :ugh2:


Haven't actually seen anyone with the Top Secret one though. Haven't seen anything about GT-Spec making one for the 370z either. :(

ARC BRAZING is the new ARC


Sad but I think the new FRS/BRZ sold the aftermarket...most companies looking for the next big thing...

Worth it? It looks good in person and is very unique and different but it really comes down to if it supplies better support. I do not remember if TS claimed any benefits over the stock one besides weight savings.

Honestly I think it looks worse than the stock bar PC'd. And certainly not for the cost. The burnt Ti just doesn't work for me. :ugh2:

Now if you wanted to say you had Everything done by TS, then I could see it, but at the time you finished with it all, you might as well of just bought a GT-R. :icon17:

I want to do mine white. I also have a PW like you. I think it would compliment the car nicely.

Matching the color/finish of wheels is always a good bet. Helps bring in the exterior look inside the engine bay.

I agree however not much of a difference from the stock bar if I were to powered coat it matte black.. I want to do my brakes strut bar and other accents in white however I know what a PITA it will be to keep clean.

Are you planning on having any decals or emblems inside the engine bay like you do on the exterior? Matte Black would be the perfect background to have something airbrushed on your bar?
