Has anyone fitted the Automods under front bumper shield to their Granturismo?

I came across this on the interweb whilst looking to see if anyone did an undershield in alloy similar to the ones I have on our Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagons (we have a pair of these): at about £342 delivered ( but not including import tax) they seemed like a good idea but I'd be very interested in other owners opinions; are these possibly something Sportsitalia might stock in the future?
if I had any idea how to do it, I'd put a neat link or even a photo or two here..... But a Google search should find 'em. The Company is in Florida, USA.https://automodsfl.com/product/maserati-granturismo-skid-plates/
Ohh, look at that: it worked!!
Happy Captain!

It looks like an interesting idea, not sure I would want to drill 30 holes in my bumper to protect it from a scratch, but I can see why it might be good if your drive has a slope on it.

Also, £400 quid for £40 worth of HDPE. Yikes!

Unless you have a particular speed bump or slope problem on one of your regular journeys, I’d say these are unnecessary. I’ve had three versions of the GT over the last 5 years and not damaged the front bumper underside yet, as these are not particularly low cars. So to me, they look the answer to a problem I don’t have (even with a Strad).

Unless your car is lowered or you like driving up big kerbs in parking spaces I don't see the benefit if these.

I was surprised with the mine how much clearance there is underneath. Its a lot of dosh to protect something that is hidden and would not cost 400 to repaint.
