Maserati Grantourismo at Roadster Shop
 

Thought I'd share a few pics of a fabrication and install project at the shop just now. We previously worked on this customer's Mercedes CL65 rear diffuser last year http://www.roadstershop.com/installa...ken-s-cl65-amg.

He was so happy with the result, naturally he had to have one done for his Maserati Grantourismo convertible! The factory diffuser is a little lackluster (no offence Pinninfarina!:_paranoid), so we planned on adding something with a bit more Italian flare...
BTW - Hearing an Italian V8 engine note in a shop full of American muscle is quite unusual!! It's like hearing an opera singer at a Metallica concert!!:D

omg that is some serious fab skills you guys have!

Just Amazing.Very Cool!!!!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Off the hook fabrication and imagination!!

Awesome work. :hail:

Let the owner of the cars know I am available for adoption :D

Awesome!

So just how are you going to make the front look as good as the back? :D

I would hang that thing on my wall. It's cooler than most of the "art" I see at galleries. Nice job.

Thanks everyone :thumbsup: It is a pretty cool project and Jon is doing a killer job on the fab. We just wrapped up the rest of the belly pan portion that will fit up to the original side skirts under the bumper. A little more final fitting and trimming and it is ready for paint.
