Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Spoiler

Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Spoiler

Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 1 (2006-2015) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Spoiler adds a track-grade trunk-mounted statement to the mid-engine supercar silhouette. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi R8 Gen 1 carbon spoiler bolts directly to OEM trunk-lid mounting points - no cutting, no drilling, no modification.

If you want to exceed the factory plastic or body-colored spoiler in both look and finish, this autoclave-cured prepreg part is built for you. Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 1 trims - the 4.2 FSI V8 (420 hp), 5.2 FSI V10 (525 hp), and V10 Plus / R8 GT (550-560 hp) - this spoiler honors R8 LMS racing DNA and contributes to rear-axle stability at speed. Our catalog includes two trunk spoiler variants: this standard profile (aggressive winged) and a separate Slim Spoiler for owners who prefer a minimal lip-style trunk-edge extension.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave.
• Lightweight and Strong: Noticeably lighter than the factory spoiler. No extra load on trunk hinges.
• Aerodynamic Benefit: Measurable rear-axle downforce at high speeds, inspired by R8 LMS race-car aerodynamics.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory Audi R8 Gen 1 trunk-lid mounting points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat resists fading, cracking, and road grime.
• 3M Double-Sided Tape + Hardware: Dual fixation (adhesive + bolts) for vibration-free mounting.

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

Most aftermarket carbon parts use wet lay-up, where resin is applied by hand and cured at room temperature - leaving weave and weight that vary part to part. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave 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 fade over years of use

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended:

1. Clean the trunk-lid surface with IPA (isopropyl alcohol).
2. Dry-fit the spoiler using the supplied template.
3. Peel the 3M tape backing, position, and apply firm pressure for 30 seconds at each contact point.
4. If hardware holes are present, secure from the inside of the trunk lid (torque: 4-6 Nm).
5. Do not wash the vehicle for 24 hours to allow adhesive curing.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer nozzle at least 30 cm from the surface.
