I'm gonna revive this thread, this hood seems to have disappeared. I personally think that without the intake duct this is the best looking vented hood design I've seen. It blends in with the body lines and really shows off how low the engine sits by filling that empty space. Also it doesn't have the louvered vent look which pretty much every other hood design has.

I'm seriously interested in having this custom made without the ram duct. Anyone else?

I recently bought this hood off of someone local and did just that. Filled in the the middle air duct and left the two vents on the side.

Any shots from the top showing the hood vents?

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.

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.
What trade is this hood?
What store do you sell?

This hood is based off of a hood created by this JDM company named Auto Factory.
It's called the J-TEC Cooling Bonnet, here is a link to their site:

From the time everyone in the group paid to have the molds made to truck in front of my house with a hood was about 12-13 months.


Marsh Composites does high grade stuff but they're not a big shop and have a lot of demand.

I really want to order from them, I just can't justify the outlay of money for something that I won't get for a year.

It looks amazing on your car!

It's worth the wait. Instant gratification is fun and all, but good handmade parts take time to make.
