Ferrari 488 GTB (2015-2019) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber CP Rear Cover

Engineered for Ferrari 488 GTB Coupé (2015-2019) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber CP Rear Cover replaces the OEM engine cover and transforms the rear deck with track-grade aggression and weight savings. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Ferrari 488 carbon rear cover bolts directly to OEM mounting points.

If you're building a serious Ferrari 488 GTB tuning project, this autoclave-cured dry carbon rear engine cover is the upgrade you need. Showcasing the 661 hp 3.9L V8 twin-turbo F154 CB engine underneath, this part is noticeably lighter than OEM plastic and offers outstanding UV resistance. The CP styling code offers an aggressive design line.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon — Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts use wet lay-up — hand-applied resin 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
