Mercedes-Benz W205 (2014-2021) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Hood
Engineered for Mercedes-Benz W205 C-Class (2014-2021) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Hood replaces the OEM steel hood with a full solid carbon fiber panel. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Mercedes W205 carbon hood bolts directly to OEM hinges and latch hardware.
This solid carbon hood does NOT have a clear window: it presents a full carbon surface. For a clear-pane version, see our Plexi-Vented Hood SKU.
Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter than the OEM steel hood, reducing front-axle mass and improving braking/cornering response.
Key Features
- Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave cured under high heat and pressure, a more consistent weave.
- Solid Carbon Design: Full carbon surface, engine bay not visible.
- Significant Weight Savings: Noticeably lighter than OEM steel. Reduced front-axle mass.
- OEM Hinge & Latch Fit: Direct-bolt to factory hinges, OEM latch mechanism compatible.
- 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Natural carbon weave under UV-protective clear coat.
- UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life fade resistance.
Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon
- Cured in autoclave under 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
Installation Notes
Hood replacement requires professional installation:
- Open OEM hood and remove hinge bolts.
- Remove the old hood.
- Mount the carbon hood to the hinges.
- Verify close-alignment and latch operation.
- Reconnect hood support struts.
Care & Maintenance
Wash with pH-neutral shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. No rust issues: a major advantage over steel.
