Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2018) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt

Engineered for Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2018) owners who demand racing-grade quality, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Side Skirt set delivers a low, aggressive, track-grade side profile to your supercar. Manufactured in Europe to factory-spec mounting tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Audi R8 carbon side skirt bolts directly to OEM mounting points — no cutting, no drilling, no modification required.

If you're building a serious Audi R8 tuning project and need a part that exceeds the factory plastic skirt in both performance and finish, this dry carbon side skirt is built for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber is noticeably lighter than wet-lay parts, with far superior structural integrity, and outstanding long-term UV resistance. Engineered to match the LMS racing DNA of the Gen 2 R8's 5.2L V10 FSI naturally-aspirated engine (V10 540 hp, V10 Plus 610 hp).

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure ensure homogeneous resin distribution and a more consistent weave.
• Aggressive Side Profile: Lowered, track-style appearance emphasizes the R8's racing identity and visually lowers the car's center of gravity.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the factory plastic skirt.
• Race-Grade Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight. Resists stone chips and curb scrapes.
• Aerodynamic Contribution: Channels side airflow to reduce underbody turbulence.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play installation on factory Audi R8 Gen 2 (2015-2018) mounting points.

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