Porsche 718 (982, 2016+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt

Engineered for Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster (982 chassis, 2016+) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Side Skirt set mounts to or over the factory plastic rocker trim as an aggressive carbon side aero element. Manufactured in Europe to OEM-fit tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 718 carbon side skirt bolts directly to factory clip and screw points — no cutting or modification required.

The 982-generation 718 family blends mid-engine balance with Porsche track DNA. From 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), the 718 spans a wide trim ladder. This dry carbon side skirt set visually lowers the car's side profile to bring it closer to the GT4 / GT4 RS look, protects the door sills from stone chips and helps tidy lateral airflow. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter than wet-lay carbon, offers very high strength for its weight and is UV-resistant.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Pair Set: Left + right side skirts supplied as a set.
• GT4 RS-Inspired Profile: Visually lower side line with aggressive end corners.
• Lightweight: A worthwhile weight saving versus the OEM plastic part.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory 982 rocker clip and screw points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Resists road salt, stone chips and wash chemicals.

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

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up. 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
