Looks like part of this covers the throttle bodies.

Cooling from an engine cover? There is little to no heat generated under there all the engine cover does is cover up the black plastic intake plenum. It's a great looking piece but will probably offer little to no cooling unless it somehow ties in with cooling their TT kit which I still can't foresee as justifying the price of the engine cover.

How much is it?

Maybe it directs air to flow to the turbo area? A stream of air maybe? I don't know just trying to figure this thing out.

I think the GT-R manifold will require some modifying, but not impossible (hopefully).
Also, the Top Secret twin turbo kit, engine cover and hood are all meant to play together. Hopefully once we get some pictures of the hood we will see how it all flows together.

1 million dollars. Maybe not that high but it will be up there for these guys. Again its from Japan. Just look at the prices of the other things they are trying to sell.

On the car...



Top Secret initially only made 5 CF covers and is doing a special for $460. Two left.
Then it goes up to normal price of $550.

If anyone is interested or has any questions, pls let me know.
