Front Strut tower brace options???

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

Titanium is expensive

Welding is harder than normal

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

No longer in business.


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

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.

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.
