Porsche Panamera | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Fender Air Duct

Porsche Panamera (2017+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Fender Air Duct

Engineered for Porsche Panamera 971 (G2, 2017+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Fender Air Duct set converts the side fender vent detail of your luxury GT sedan into a motorsport-grade carbon accent. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche Panamera carbon fender air duct mounts to the OEM fender side surface using 3M VHB tape: no cutting, no drilling, no painting required.

If you are building a Porsche Panamera tuning project and want a side-profile carbon detail that catches the eye, this dry carbon front fender air duct set is built for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber is noticeably lighter than wet-lay carbon parts, offers very high strength for its weight, and resists long-term UV fading. Visually complements the 971's drivetrain range: 2.9L V6 biturbo, 4.0L V8 biturbo, and Turbo S E-Hybrid (700 hp combined).

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave and balanced resin distribution.
• Left + Right Pair: Symmetrical driver- and passenger-side set.
• Side-Profile Detail: Mounts to the front fender side surface, enriching the side profile with a clean carbon accent.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Lightweight: Offers a worthwhile weight saving over the painted plastic OEM part.
• 3M VHB Tape Mounting: No-damage, no permanent modification.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, bug spatter, 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 → lighter and stronger for its weight
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use
