I'm really happy with the response and support we've received regarding these strut bars. I'm hoping Top Secret agrees to make a limited run for us. We need one or two more solid inquiries and we're set.

Just to put things into perspective, this strut bar is going to be a full titanium strut bar made by one of the most iconic JDM aftermarket/performance parts manufacturers in Japan and around the world. This will be a limited edition/limited run item. Think of it as a special edition strut bar. For some of you, this is probably going to be one of the most if not the most rare part you'll ever have on your Z being that there weren't very many produced to begin with and nobody will ever be able to buy this part new ever again.

Email me directly at bo@bulletproofautomotive.com if you're interested or if you have any questions. Thanks guys and let's keep the momentum going!

I'm likely out regardless of price. My mod money just got spent to replace the fridge that died last night. :mad:

Awww man! Seriously no joke you're the second person I heard of that had their fridge go out on them in the past 3 weeks... what's happening to all our fridges? :confused:

Wiggins3377 02-07-2014 06:51 PM

So back to three?? Bummer.

If we can't get enough interest for Top Secret. I'm going to make a strut bar out of carbon fiber.

Wiggins3377 02-07-2014 06:56 PM

Any chance you can approach them with three people interested?

Yes! Thanks Wiggins! We need a couple more people that are interested in this super rare item! We need at least 5 people interested for us to be able to get these going. We have 3 solid commitments so far so we're more than half way there! Let's do this!! PM me or email me at bo@bulletproofautomotive.com! Thanks guys!

370Ztune 02-11-2014 04:20 PM

**Lets bump this up! Guys this is your opportunity to have a super rare part that will never be put into production again. We only need 2 more people to show some solid interest and we can get this going with Top Secret. PM us or email me directly at bo@bulletproofautomotive.com. Thanks!

Wiggins3377 02-11-2014 09:47 PM

and then there was one...

GaleForce 02-11-2014 11:09 PM

Let's do this before my wife spends that money on more furniture for the house. :bowrofl:

370Ztune 02-12-2014 08:06 PM

Hey guys! Guess what? I think we're there! We have 5 people tentatively willing to go in on the group buy! We will be reaching out to Top Secret to see if they will make the strut bars for us!

Please give us about a week to reach out and hear back from them. Although Top Secret is a big name in the JDM industry and they create some of the coolest most awesome JDM parts, they are a small specialty shop in Japan with a limited number of staff.

We will keep you all updated on the most recent news once we hear back with a verdict! Thank you all to those that have shown support and given us this chance to provide you with awesome products!!

If anybody else would like to be on this list, please PM me or email me at bo@bulletproofautomotive.com. Thanks!

So far we have on the list:

Wiggins3377 02-12-2014 10:30 PM

That's great news. I can't wait to hear more. Thanks again for leading this effort.

GaleForce 02-12-2014 11:01 PM

My fingers are crossed. This piece will be the icing on the cake for my engine bay.

Hey guys, thank you for being such awesome supporters of ours! We notice the support that you guys, Simota, and a few others have shown us on a daily basis and we just want to say thank you. We truly appreciate it!

Fingers crossed we get some good news from Top Secret! We'll make sure to keep you guys informed of the latest news once we get it.

Mr&Mrs 02-13-2014 03:19 PM

Awesome, happy you guys get the chance!

steeds 02-15-2014 04:19 PM

Any idea of how the finish will come out or is it random?? I saw these two. I'm sure you all have seen these pics already but I was just curious.

The finish will be similar to the ones in the photos; however, the titanium burns are going to be fairly random. Heat causes the coloration so wherever they apply heat the color will change. Regardless it'll look good haha.

370Ztune 02-18-2014 07:25 PM

**Hey guys, we're still waiting to hear from Top Secret. We're hoping to have some info this week. We'll make sure to update ya'll once we have more info. Thanks!

Scone 02-25-2014 04:43 PM

Yes definitely in for updates!

370Ztune 02-25-2014 06:00 PM

**UPDATE 2/25/2014**

Hey guys, it's been a little while so thank you for keeping up with us. Just as an update, we had sent the request to Top Secret. They told us that they will take things into consideration and will need to discuss with their operations side if this will be feasible or not and how exactly they would implement the production of these strut bars. They said they will contact us once they figure something out. They didn't say no so that's a good sign. We will keep updating all of you as we get more info.

GaleForce 02-25-2014 07:21 PM

I need something for this show season. Maybe they have a forgotten one hiding in the back of their shop that they might want to ship to Canada? :bowrofl:

Liquid_G 02-28-2014 03:12 PM

how the hell did I not see this until now.

kazman 02-28-2014 04:00 PM

Anyway they can fab them to fit the us version? If not, if there any way you guys could fab up and sell an adapter?

I just picked one of these up and the previous owner fabricated the top mount to make it fit. Here's a pic, but I can't imagine it would be a hard fix. So don't let that deter you from buying the awesome piece and supporting everything that Bo and 370ztune does for this forum.

GaleForce that's what I'm saying. We are still waiting for a solid response. They've been somewhat slow on getting back to us. From what they say they are currently discussing ways to put this into production. Hopefully we'll have some good news soon. As always we'll be sure to keep everybody informed once they get back to us.

I wish they still had some oil caps. It seems like they got rid of all of their good stuff for some reason. I guess they needed to make room somewhere for new parts. ;)

Hi all... unfortunately Top Secret just responded to us. They weren't able to source their titanium supplier so this has once again been placed on hold for now. They didn't say they will never make them, but for now it doesn't look like this is going to happen. :crying:

Sorry all. We did everything we could to make this happen but it just wasn't in the cards for now. If they bring this back up in the future, we will let everybody know.

Thanks to everybody that gave their input and showed their support. We will keep you guys updated if any new info is released on this.

Complete waste of a post. This obviously isn't a mod about fixing the strut bar (unless you're talking purely about aesthetics)
