Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber LBW Wide-Body Spoiler

Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber LBW Wide-Body Spoiler

Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) owners running the LBW wide-body series, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber LBW Spoiler sharpens the character of your mid-engine supercar's rear deck and ties together the wide-body aero set. Made to factory-spec mounting tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi R8 LBW carbon spoiler bolts to OEM mounting points: no cutting, no drilling required.

If you're building a serious Audi R8 wide-body project and need a spoiler that exceeds the factory unit in aesthetics and weight while completing the LBW aero set, this dry carbon LBW spoiler is built for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber delivers noticeably lighter weight than wet-lay carbon parts and outstanding UV resistance. Engineered to complement the LMS racing DNA of the Gen 1 R8's 4.2L V8 FSI (420 hp) and 5.2L V10 FSI engines (V10 525 hp, V10 Plus 550 hp, R8 GT 560 hp), the aggressive spoiler profile adds rear-axle downforce at speed.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Wide-Body Coordinated Profile: Shares visual language with the rest of the LBW set (front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser); more aggressive arc than the factory spoiler.
• Aerodynamic Benefit: Adds rear-axle downforce at speed and reduces lift.
• Significant Weight Savings: Lighter than the factory spoiler/active wing; contributes positively to rear axle balance.
• Race-Grade Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• OEM-Compatible Mounting: Direct fit to Gen 1 rear deck factory spoiler mounting points (with supplied 3M VHB tape reinforcement where applicable).
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading and cracking.

Prepreg (Dry) Carbon vs. Wet Carbon: Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature, leaving air voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended for the Audi R8 LBW carbon spoiler:

1. Clean the rear deck surface with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Test-fit the spoiler dry; verify centerline and symmetric wing tips.
3. Apply supplied 3M VHB tape or bolt kit.
4. Apply even pressure and let cure undisturbed for 24 hours.
5. First wash after 48 hours.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from surface.
