Porsche Panamera | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap

Porsche Panamera (2017+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap

Engineered for Porsche Panamera 971 (G2, 2017+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap set adds an instantly noticeable motorsport-inspired detail to the side profile of your luxury GT sedan. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche Panamera carbon mirror cap clips directly onto the factory mirror housing: no cutting, no drilling, no painting required.

If you are building a Porsche Panamera tuning project and want to convert factory painted or chrome mirror caps into a track-grade detail, this dry carbon mirror cap 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. A subtle but unmistakable accent that 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: Shipped as a driver-side and passenger-side symmetrical pair.
• OEM Clip Fit: Snaps directly onto factory mirror housing clips, no adhesive, no screws, no cutting.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Weight: Offers a worthwhile weight saving over the painted plastic OEM mirror cap.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, bug spatter, and road tar.
• Direct OEM Fit: Compatible with both Panamera 971 Sedan and Sport Turismo wagon since they share the same mirror housing.

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

Installation Notes

Installing the Porsche Panamera carbon mirror cap takes only a few minutes. Professional installation is recommended but DIY is feasible:

2. Carefully release OEM mirror cap clips with a plastic trim tool.
3. Remove the original cap.
4. Press the new carbon cap into place until all clips engage.
5. Verify all internal clips are fully seated.
