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

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended:

1. Open the engine cover, remove the OEM inner panel.
2. Detach the OEM plastic cover from clips and bolts.
3. Test-fit the carbon rear cover for alignment.
4. Secure with supplied hardware to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Verify the open/close mechanism operates correctly.
