Porsche 718 (982, 2016+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap

Engineered for Porsche 718 Cayman, Boxster and Spyder (982 chassis, 2016+) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap set replaces the factory plastic or painted mirror caps with a real carbon, lightweight, durable alternative. Manufactured in Europe to OEM-fit tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 718 carbon mirror cap set clips directly onto factory mounting points — no cutting, drilling or adhesive required.

The 982-generation 718 family is one of the purest expressions of Porsche's mid-engine identity. From the 2.0L and 2.5L flat-4 turbos to the 4.0L flat-6 naturally-aspirated unit in the GTS 4.0, Spyder, GT4 and GT4 RS (500 hp), it covers a wide trim range. Mirror caps are one of the most visible side-profile details on the car; this dry carbon mirror cap set delivers a motorsport-inspired look while autoclave-cured prepreg technology provides a worthwhile weight saving, very high strength for its weight and outstanding UV resistance compared with wet-lay carbon.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Full Cap Replacement: Replaces the OEM cap entirely; the mirror body remains stock.
• Pair Set: Left and right mirror caps supplied as a set.
• Lightweight: A worthwhile weight saving versus the OEM plastic/painted part.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory 982 mirror clip points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat resists fading, cracking and wash chemicals.

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. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• 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 over years of use
