From how i see it, the only major difference between this two is that the Top Secret hood has some type of tray under the vents, to protect from water. However Seibon Top Secret Style hood doesn't offer that tray or what ever you call it which once again suppose to protect your engine from water, dust...etc....

dude nice price difference and basicly the same siht one has little latches and the other doesnt dont like the latches anyway go with the cheaper one.....but if the cheaper one isnt carbonfiber...then go with the real carbonfiber one just because the lighter hood might help performance but if bot carbo fiber then def the cheaper

Might be some kind of aerodynamics testing as well, i bet the cheaper on wasn't wind tunnel tested and the top secret one was...might cause some kind of odd airflow. I was reading in a magazine that more than half of the aftermarket parts out are not wind tunnel tested equaling in a decrease in acceleration actually. They took a supercharged Z and put this badass looking body kit on it and took a stock Z and raced them around the track, the stock Z ran a better time since the other Z bodykit was aero-F*cked.

also, TS-style is not from TOPSECRET. here is the topsecret one, sells it for 1775.00 http://www.topsecretjpn.com/v351.shtml
so makes sure u know the difference thats more than 1000 dollars difference. if u gonna tell me thats topsecret carbon hood, i will be amazed.

so basically, one's authentic and one's a replica. I'm sure you can figure which is which.

I would go with Seibon, cant see a way to justify spending $1000 extra on what looks to be an identical part.
