I like how this owner tried to set himself apart from the other Amuse widebody kit. I would have chosen a different wing as well.

Thanks for the support.

It is all about the image that the owner is going for. Whether it is the image of a race car, the image of a show car, the image of a sleeper, the image of what is popular, or the image of something that has never been done before, whether it be good or bad. I agree with Tan on this one in terms of the owner's attempts to set this Amuse kit apart from the rest.

Dont think that the colour combo is doing it any good....Not feeling the wing on the back either....Doesnt seem to stand out as some amuse widebody s2ks do...Just cant put my finger on why...

On the other hand i do respect the amount of time and work that has went into the car to transform it into what it is now...Still like it but just think that having gone that far a couple more extra thoughts to do with colour & wing choice could have been a little better..(but thats just ones opinion)....

I really dig that Top Secret roll bar, can it be found on your web site? That in combination w/ my bronze Advan RZs would look great!!

This customer started with a Gold Statement and transformed his car into a Bold Statement (lame joke I know ).

Not my cup of tea, but props for doing it and spending the money to have it done.

The only thing I like about the car car is the hardtop and hood and both I would paint not a big fan of exposed cf body parts. I never really liked the Amuse kit for street purpose I think it is a tad much If it was on a track whore then my opinion of it would change. But then again what kind of weekend worrior would spend so much cash on a bodyy kit. I know I wouldnt shit thats like a acouple years forth of rubbers(tires) and thats when your burning through them like a hooker. All in all the car is a great show car and the wing sets it a-part a lil props to the builders.

So the Top Secret cage is it just a street cage like all the other cusco cages or is it actually legit for track duty?

Thanks for your thoughts .

In regards to your question about the roll cage, it is similar to the Cusco in terms of track duty. From what I understand the piping diameter is smaller than the required piping diameter for tracks here in the states. You appear to be well educated in tracking, so feel free to digest everything I just stated and revise it into a more thorough explanation for the other enthusiasts of this community, at your leisure of course .

Here is one of our customers who acquired the first Top Secret 5-point in the states.

Not my cup of tea. I think the wing and blacked out headlights don't flow right.
