Nu-b here, TOP SECRET kit qustion?

Hello Fellas, don't know if I should ask this question or not, but what the heck!

Are there any company out there producing any G35 coupe T S style body kit? if so any info on it?

Oh oh, I better answer this before you get flamed by the regulars for not using the " search " feature. Yes Top Secret has bodykits for the G35 coupe. They have front bumper, side and rear skirt. There is also a TS wide bodykit version. You can order at BulletProofAutomotive.com or IntenseMotorsports and other sites.

Why is it that some of the front bumpers there are 2 holes for the side vents and some have 3? Just like the pics above, there are 2 diffrent styles. Is one the widebody version?

Who makes a replica GReddy, I've yet to see that.

just curious, but are there any kits out there that are urethane and not fiberglass? it appears that all the nice kits, including the top secret kit, are fiberglass.

n/m, I found the replica GReddy's on eBay They're pretty expensive for a replica...

I don't know of any urethane kits for the G35. Most urethane parts are for lips or small parts, not whole bumpers, though there are some. Urethane is pretty heavy, and when it comes to a big part like a bumper, they are not the soft flexible urethane, they are more of a hard urethane, like plastic.

There has always been this big debate over urethane/fiberglass for bodykits. I used to preffer one over the other, but after having both, I have come to understand both have thier ups and downs.

IMO, fiberglass is good because its much lighter and usually cheaper. However it sucks that they are fragile and break easier. For example if you down a driveway thats too steep, you can break your fiberglass kit. Its very costly to repair a fiberglass kit, then you have to have it painted again anyway. However you shouldn't be going through driveways like this with any kit. If the driveway isn't that steep, you can get away with just rubbing if you know how to angle and it don't damamge anything except for the paint on the underside which no one seens anyway.

Now urethane is heavier and more expensive, but its flexible. This is good in the sense that it won't break as easily. The problem though with flexability is the paint. Paint doesn't flex as much as urethane does so the paint cracks off easily. Making you have to paint your kit more often. For that driveway where you would have just rubbed with a fiberglass kit, might bend your urethane kit so much the paint will crack off. But its really hard to break urethane(as long as its the flexible type not the rigid plastic type). The problem like I said is you end up painting it more often though.

Anybody know if there are the same clearance issues on the TS front that you get with the Greddy (scrapping)?

The Stillen and Impul front bumpers are urethane.
