If you don't believe time flies, then we will remind you that the Alfa Romeo Giulia entered production in 2015. That was eight years ago, and for a modern-day product, it's a lot of time. It was developed in the FCA era, and production for global markets takes place at the Piedimonte San Germano factory in Lazio, Italy.
Challenging the likes of the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes C-Class, Audi A4, Jaguar XE, Lexus IS, and Cadillac CT4, the Alfa Romeo Giulia quickly became a favorite in the segment, especially in the range-topping flavor that adds the Quadrifoglio suffix.

The engine family is not vast, and the twin-turbocharged V6 that was so 'not' developed with Ferrari's know-how tops them all. The mill pushes out 505 hp (512 ps/377 kW) at 6,500 rpm in the 2024 Giulia Quadrifoglio, delivering it to the rear axle via an automatic transmission with eight gears. Alfa Romeo quotes the 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) at a "best-in-class" 3.8 seconds, stating that the top speed stands at 191 mph (307 kph).

Ever since the modern Giulia came out eight years ago, followed by the hot Quadrifoglio variant, multiple tuners have launched numerous upgrades for it. Almost every major player in this game has at least a few aftermarket products for the Italian brand's sports sedan. Thus, no matter if you are just shopping for wheels and shorter springs or if a wide body kit, a reupholstered interior, and more power are on your list, too, you are always a few mouse clicks (or screen taps) away from finding that perfect combo.

Speaking of combos, the offer has just increased with additional parts that are available from Rax Performance. This lesser-known Canadian tuner can give your Giulia several add-ons made of carbon fiber. These comprise the front lip, side skirts, side mirror caps, rear spoiler, and diffuser, priced at CA$780 (US$574), CA$595 (US$438), CA$179.99 (US$132), CA$270 (US$199), and CA$564.99 (US$416), respectively. There is, however, a big catch, as these parts only suit the 2016-2022 model year Alfa Romeo Giulias. The delivery takes a claimed 3-5 days, regardless of the country, and they promise a 30-day return with no headaches.

The pictured car wears the four-leaf clover logo on the front fenders, but since it only has two exhaust tips instead of four, we're confident it is not the range-topping Quadrifoglio. It has a red paint finish and rides on the typical wheels that suit it like a glove, which spin around the yellow brake calipers. The interior is only partially visible in the images released on social media by a.c.g_design and raxperformance, and it has a black overall look. And speaking of the styling, we're certainly fans of this build. Are you?
