Do a search of how many people on this forum are sporting "TS-P" or "TS style" or "AIT" or just falsely representing their cars as having "Top Secret" body kits and you'll have your answer as to why this kit is so hard to find...
"No matter which side you take, the truth is knock offs and counterfeits have hurt this industry in a big way. Less and less companies want to innovate in this market because of fear of having their products being copied and if you look at the track record of consumers these days, they are willing to buy whatever is cheapest despite the lackluster quality or fitment issues associated with knock off parts. Sadly, I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon. The best way to fight the problem is with awareness. As a consumer, think long and hard before buying a knock off product. What you may be saving initially will more than likely cost you in the future. It’s no secret that cheap parts don’t last as long, or that they need to be modified to work or fit (which costs money). Plus, think of the company that spent the time and money to actually design the product. That should count for something." - Peter Tarach, Editor of Modified

Well, that's kind of Top Secrets fault - if they only want to distribute their legitimate product through one crook, it's hard to see why people wouldn't end up buying the knock-off bullsh!t.
In a past life, I sold aftermarket parts and often as not, the problem with genuine parts was in the supply chain, not with the consumer/reseller. I couldn't tell you how many times I tried to get JDM, authentic parts and wound up being balked by shady or erratic suppliers. If Top Secret can't be bothered to set up a reliable distribution arrangement in the States, they don't deserve the business.
