Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster (982, 2016+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip V2

Engineered for Porsche 718 Cayman/Boxster (982 chassis, 2016+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip V2 is the more aggressive, deeper-profile alternative to our classic front lip. It gives your mid-engine sports car a stronger motorsport identity and contributes more meaningfully to front-axle downforce. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 718 carbon front lip V2 mounts directly to the OEM front bumper lower edge.

If you are building a serious Porsche 718 tuning project and want a more aggressive look and deeper splitter projection than our classic version, this dry carbon front lip V2 is built for you. The further-forward splitter geometry produces more meaningful front-axle downforce at speed. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon is noticeably lighter, offers very high strength for its weight, and resists UV fading.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; controlled resin, a more consistent weave.
• Aggressive V2 Profile: Deeper/further-forward splitter geometry; stronger visual and aero impact than the classic version.
• Stronger Downforce: Larger attack surface yields more meaningful front-axle downforce.
• Weight Reduction: Noticeably lighter thanks to its pure carbon construction.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• OEM Fit: Plug and play installation on the 982 Cayman and Boxster front bumper lower edge.
• UV and Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, and road tar.

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 - 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 - noticeably lighter
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

Installation Notes

Installing the Porsche 718 carbon front lip V2 uses bolts and 3M double-sided tape on the lower edge of the factory bumper:

1. Clean the front bumper lower edge with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Test-fit the lip; centering is critical.
3. Remove 3M tape liners and press firmly.
4. If hardware is supplied, torque the lower mounting points to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Do not wash the vehicle for 24 hours and avoid hard highway runs.

Care and Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer away from the lip edges.

FAQ

Difference vs. V1 (classic)?
This V2 version offers a deeper/further-forward splitter profile - more aggressive look and stronger aero impact. V1 offers a clean thin-edge profile that follows the OEM bumper line.
