New Hood - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dkrou351 · 05-01-2014, 02:12 PM

Has anyone seen or have this CF hood yet? I was at a meet in NJ last weekend and talked to a guy that had this hood. Looks amazing in my opinion. Reminds me of the new Vipers' hood. I believe it's made by Top Secret. Anyway I was wondering if anyone who has one could post up some pics. I would love to get an idea of what it would look like on my whiteout.

Hmmm. I don't see that hood molded for the fender flares.

dkrou351 · 05-01-2014, 03:30 PM

Here is another shot of the hood. It seems that there is a style with the ram air vent and some without. I'm not sure what you mean by molded for the fender flares? Can you explain a bit?

I don't think the first one is for the twins

tahdizzle · 05-01-2014, 04:31 PM

The twins have bulges in the hood for where the wheel wells are. The first picture does not look like its for the twins.

I'd also be more interested in the hood w/o that little non functional hood scoop.

i'd be curious to see one painted a brighter body color..

The top hood is not an FR-S hood. The lines are completely wrong.

I think the bottom hood might be Varis?

The top is being sold as a FRS hood, the lines of the vents are screwing with your perception.
If you google top secret FRS hood the top picture comes up in multiple vendors.

Top picture has the nostril lines so i think the guy above me is correct

The vendors are using a stock photo then. Why aren't the corners cut off to fit the headlights? What about the massive hood bump? That hood looks like it goes to a 240 or a mustang or something.

The top hood is clearly NOT for a Twin... Twin's neither have crease lines like a BMW/Mustang hood nor windshield squirter nozzles on the hood and the front corners are missing the unique chamfer design of the twins...hood looks like it's more for a BMW or Mustang.

Now that you guys are saying it, I believe the top hood is for a Mustang, sorry for the mix up. I can see the headlight bevel in the hood matching a mustang. The second hood though, is the hood I am trying to get more info on. The name of the hood is Black Op's, by Top Secret. I saw it on an FR-S at a meet in NJ, but it was unpainted carbon fiber. I would love to see the hood painted in any stock color just so I can get an idea of it matching the rest of the car. Not sure about you guys but the Siebon hood styles just don't do it for me.

Found it... or likely a copy.
599.99 fiberglass
699.99 carbon.

They (fastscion.com) CLAIM it isn't hand laid and only weighs 8lbs (carbon.) I do love the fact it doesn't have shitty chicken-wire mesh.
However after spending 15min searching reviews... it seems they are a poor quaility, knockoff company running 3 sites with a BAD reputation. The hood is listed as exclusive through them and they list themselves as the manufactuer even after calling it the Top Secret hood. Sadly no version availiable without the stupid scoop in the center.

I will keep searching for another vendor and hopefully find the version without the center-scoop myself.

-K

edit: Talked with BulletProof Automotive whome has been working with Top Secret on their golden rocketbunny'd car. There never is, never was, (or in the near future) never will be a Top Secret hood.

The company is simply using their name.

I'm fairly confident that the first picture is a OEM style CF Jeep SRT8 Hood. Looks like it could look pretty good if the one for the 86 didn't have that stupid center scoop lol
