Who don't like the "surfboards" on the sides of the car?

Trying to get a feel of how many of you guys like them, and how many dont...

People seem to be very polarized on the topic...

No thanks for me. As I've said, they make excellent bootscrapers.

Love 'em

Give the car a much more menacing look

 

[Vincenzo]

big fan of the boards here

 

[Folke]

No like! Will change them for a set of a 4200 next winter!

I think I read somwhere that they were supposed to improve the aerodynamics - but I can't remember where.

/F.

 

[dogdoc]

Where can I order them besides the dealer? Dogdoc

 

[M!]

[goodfela]

I would probably add them as well but not so sure how they would look without the matching rear and front bumper covers

 

[Glenn Wallace]

They were the one thing that turned me off buying a GS.

 

[brumma]

Love mine!

 

[davethechemist]

I'm a fan.

Count me in as a believer

Ricambi America and eurospares sell them.

~$1K per side it seems. Gotta say, i'm definitely a fan of the boards, though i do enjoy the 2002 style grill/trident setup better than the GS version.

Probably read an interview with Frank Stephenson, the then head designer for Maserati, where he said all the aesthetic changes on the GS vs the Coupe' were there to improve aerodynamics.

Love them.

 

[Cmaser]

I love them

I think they make the car look mean! It does suck when you hit them on the way out of your car! The worst is a girl in heals! But I thought about it when I got mine and had the guy that did the clear bra wrap them in the stuff to it works great!

 

[DarksideApprentice]

Love them on my 90A spyder. Car wouldnt look the same without them.

... It does suck when you hit them on the way out of your car! ...I got mine and had the guy that did the clear bra wrap them in the stuff to it works great!

I had the same thing done when I got mine. But I found that the clear film scuffs very easily from edges of shoes, which happens more or less every time I enter/exit in a crowded parking lot & can't open the door fully.

I need to have mine redone after 18mos because it looks bad.

I really like them. I think it gives the car more of a balanced look.
