Rearspoiler for 4200GT in carbon fibre?

[HerbieNL]

Hi all,

As I have the carbon fiber interior, I was thinking about adding a carbon fiber rear spoiler on my 4200.
I came across these two:

Germany - https://gs-exclusive.com/en/maserati-4200-evo
Total price incl. VAT and shipping to The Netherlands --> EUR 1707

USA - https://directcartoys.com/maserati/gransport.html
Total price incl. VAT and shipping to The Netherlands --> $750 (estimated, not sure what the import taxes will be though)

The price difference between the two is immense, and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with either one of them or know other manufacturers (preferably in Europe) that produces / sells them?

Thanks in advance!

There was a member on here about 10-years ago that made a batch of CF parts for these, unfortunately it generally didn't end too well, they needed substantial refinishing to be acceptable. I opted for the GF version in the group buy, these were easier to fettle. I actually never fitted mine to the 4200 and in the end sold it on to another member.

I'm also in contact with Adnan, but the carbon version of the GS seems no longer available. We're now looking into the 'plastic' option and paint it in the color of the car, or have a carbon dip. But am open for other options. Anyone that knows a carbon GS spoiler for sale, please do let me know ;-)

Will post a picture once it is fitted to the car. The delivery time will be appr. 4 weeks.

Be interested to know how you find drilling your lid for fitment or whether you opt for an adhesive…?

That long ago? Probably.
After refinishing the fit and finish was good, still stuck onto the boot lid of mine, yes stuck, ground off off the studs.

I would buy a normal one and hydrodip it in carbon rather than paying $750!

It will be fit using 3M doublesided tape ;-). No drilling in the lid.

That was an option, but as I have the original factory carbon interiour, I prefer to pay more and have a real carbon spoler as well ;-).

Back to Googling.....

I tend to agree with you regards the look of wrapped or dipped items to appear as carbon….I wonder if you have given any thought to the process of carbon skinning..?
It’s a bit of a lottery finding a good and skilled technician but people do it, and if
if done well, it is indistinguishable from a carbon part. As I understand it, the Maserati OEM gurney flap is made this way, in fact…!

Hello,
you can try here https://ecpsgroup.com/
If they don't have it in stock they can make in in any carbon colour or wave you like.

Why waste your money on FAKE carbon-fibre, when you can waste your money on REAL carbon-fibre...

That adds weight

I just ordered the carbon fiber one in the USA .

Will keep you posted!

 

[HerbieNL]

Just received a few pictures from the manufacturing of the spoiler. Should be ready for shipment in a couple of days .

 

[HerbieNL]

It has been finished and is on it's way from the US to The Netherlands

 

[HerbieNL]

At customs......now waiting on the tax bill ;-)

 

[HerbieNL]

I received the spoiler today and I think it looks fantastic. I can recommend buying it in the US. Lots of emails with process of the creation of the spoiler, very responsive via email and much cheaper then anywhere else.

Any more pics of it fitted…? I’d love to see how flush it sits with sticky pads holding it on..? Devil,in the detail..lol
