Porsche Panamera 971 (2017+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt

Engineered for Porsche Panamera 971 (G2, 2017+) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt set lowers the visual silhouette of your luxury GT sedan and delivers a motorsport-inspired stance. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche Panamera carbon side skirt mounts to the OEM rocker panel using 3M VHB tape plus factory screw points — no permanent cutting required.

If you are building a Porsche Panamera tuning project and want a side-profile aero element that visually plants the GT line, this dry carbon side skirt 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. The aggressive skirt line matches 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 symmetrical driver-side / passenger-side set.
• Aggressive Profile: Sits below the OEM rocker, visually lowering the side profile and reinforcing the GT line.
• Race-Grade Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• 3M VHB + Screw Mounting: 3M VHB tape combined with OEM screw points provides a tight, vibration-resistant fit.
• Direct OEM Fit: Compatible with both Panamera 971 Sedan and Sport Turismo wagon, which share the rocker line.

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
