Announcement: Top Secret USA Is Here!
I'm pleased to announce that Bulletproof Automotive is now the sole distributor for all of Top Secret's international orders (including North America, Europe, and Australia). Operations will be performed under the name "Top Secret III".
We are relaunching www.topsecretjpn.com towards the end of March, with an entirely new look and more English content. Official US pricing will be listed on the website once solidified. An updated worldwide dealer list will also be featured on the website. Bulletproof is one of a few dealers for the US market. If you own a company and would like to set up an account as a Top Secret authorized dealer in the US or elsewhere, please contact Ben@BulletproofAutomotive.com.
Because my company is deeply rooted in the S2000 marketplace, you can be assured that there will finally be adequate stock of Top Secret S2000 products in the US. Our first shipment will be arriving in appoximately 2 weeks, with continual restocking shipments every 2-4 weeks.
Also be on the lookout for a new 350Z Top Secret III demo vehicle which is currently in the early stages of production at Top Secret Japan. This demo vehicle, when finished will be permanently located in the US and will compete in various events.
Thank you all for your support of Bulletproof and Top Secret, it is greatly appreciated. Because the S2000 was where we got our start, you are the first to hear of this news.
Best Regards,
Ben

haha...Fyrestrike, you are a bit too optimistic.
Final US list price is not yet set, however dont expect it to be much less than current Top Secret pricing. Top Secret distribution is coming to the US, this does not mean that we are producing parts in the US. Top Secret products will continue to be prodcued in Japan and imported to the US, the same way that we've been importing them for years. (although a bit faster) The cost of the parts is not reduced, the freight costs are not reduced, and although we are trying to reduce the prices, the reduction will be minor because costs are not much different than they were in the past. We still need to deal with "shipping from Japan/exchange rates etc." as Fyrestrike mentioned.
The main differences between now and the past are: More products in stock in the US, proper distribution in the US, support from Top Secret Japan, new products produced for US enthusiasts (give it a few months and you'll see new products being produced), Top Secret Japan's full support of US operations/events/demo car, etc
