Ferrari 488 GTB (2015-2019) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber / CFRP PISTA Body Kit

Engineered for Ferrari 488 GTB Coupé (2015-2019) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber / CFRP PISTA Body Kit is a complete carbon body kit that converts a factory 488 GTB to the 488 Pista trim aero. Including front bumper, S-Duct hood, side skirts, rear diffuser, and exhaust frame, every piece draws from the 710 hp track-focused 488 Pista trim. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Ferrari 488 PISTA body kit mounts to OEM points.

The 488 Pista (2018-2019) is the track-focused 710 hp F154 CB version of the 488 GTB. This kit brings Pista's iconic S-Duct hood, aggressive side ducts, fin-detailed rear diffuser, and sportier bumper geometry to a regular 488 GTB. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon + CFRP is noticeably lighter than wet-lay carbon.

Key Features

• Full 488 Pista Aero Conversion: Front bumper + S-Duct hood + side skirts + rear diffuser + exhaust frame.
• Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber + CFRP Blend: Structural parts in CFRP, visual panels in prepreg carbon.
• PISTA Styling: Replicates Ferrari's 710 hp 488 Pista trim aero.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than OEM plastic panels.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play; front bumper change requires professional installation.
• Aerodynamic Performance: S-Duct hood produces real front-axle downforce.

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

Most aftermarket body kits use wet lay-up. Prepreg (dry) carbon + CFRP:

• Autoclave-cured 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
• CFRP structural parts provide impact resistance

Vehicle Fitment

This Ferrari 488 PISTA body kit fits:

• Ferrari 488 GTB Coupé (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) — 3.9L V8 Twin-Turbo F154 CB (661 hp)

Important notes:

• This kit is designed by default for the 488 GTB Coupé. For the 488 Spider, rear deck S-Duct/spoiler compatibility should be confirmed before purchase (Spider's hardtop geometry differs).
• This product is unnecessary on a real 488 Pista — Pista already has Pista aero.
• NOT compatible with Ferrari 458 / F8 / 296.
• Installation requires 1-2 day professional shop work (paint + fit).
