ShinyAndChrome said: A lot of heartache. I just imagined the giulia going over a bump or pothole with the splitter deployed. The fins does nott look like it will break with usual wear and tear but the splitter... Click to expand...

Carbon Fiber is alot tougher than steel, if slightly more brittle (why they make Hornets and Lightnings that land on carriers out of the stuff)... I suspect that when it goes to shards, you would have crunched metal if it was made of that... Meanwhile, other than rubbing paint (no matter the material) it is probably 'super-fine' with most non-crash use.... And if you are going interstate-speed+ fast enough to deploy the splitter on a terrible, bumpy road, you are asking for it anyway... kind of like bemoaning that an F1 car is terrible because it fails to handle a dirtcar track...Anyway, when my splitter is up - and 100% around town it is - I never scrape bumps, holes and steep drives (I am careful just to be sure - but it doesn't) - the price to play. It's sort of like making excuses to not buy the car, when the splitter is a superb addition, and works superbly for me so far.Paul
