top secret doesn't ship to US, and i doubt they'll ship to Canada.

So unless you got a hook up in japan to ship to you directly or any other country and have them ship it to you directly, going to have a real difficult time getting a authentic top secret kit...

But if ur a fan of replicas, those u can get from US

I'm going to guess that TS is better but I'd first see if you can even get it before spending more time comparing the two.

TS-P from Igor. There is no way to get the authentic top secret. The only person who is selling is Black Betty. The Ait kit requires alot of work and drilling. I don't even think it's available. I try to buy new sideskirt from AiT and they said it's not in production yet still.

here's a review of the AIT kit by a member here JNguyen
G37 AIT Full Body Kit Fitment Review | Team LA:G's

Top Secret Body Kit Materials Used:

Front half bumper (bumper lip) made of FRP or carbon fiber
Side Skirt made of FRP or carbon fiber
Rear half bumper (bumper lip) made of FRP or carbon fiber
Front hood made of FRP or carbon fiber
Rear diffuser made of carbon fiber
Rear spoiler made of carbon fiber

AIT Materials Used:
PFRP Composite

Poly-Fiber Reinforced Plastics vs. Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics.

fiberglass cracks, but can be molded to fit. poly-fiber reinforced plastics are more flexible but if the fit isn't perfect it can't be molded as easy as fiberglass...

i'm pretty sure AIT kits fits good, ask all the members on here that have them on

Igor@180custom on the forum sells the TS-P. Better I the long run cause it's poly and won't crack if your dropped like the AIT.

I crack my ait side and that's why I try to buy new ait side but they told me it's still not in production even though it's on their site.

That's why it pretty impossible to get the AIT or Authentic TS right now. Just message up Igor@180custom

Let me break it down for you simple since your not reading everything

material: Igor has the better material
install: Igor kit takes no effort at all. Just paint and play

Igor@180custom TS-p
fitment is 99% but can made to be 100% if you play with it a little
drop off at paintshop and get it painted and your done

AIT TS
fitment is 95 percent but can be made 98%
require drilling out all the stock holes for the clips and screws
requires you to be without your car for at least a week for fitment prep
requires alot of sanding,bondo, and prepping so it fits because it's thicker than OEM
requires alot of professional sanding,bondo, and prepping so it can be primed and painted since the fiberglass quality sucks and has alot of craters and thin spots
