Ferrari 488 GTB/Spider (2015-2019) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber CP Side Air Duct

Engineered for Ferrari 488 GTB and 488 Spider (2015-2019) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber CP Side Air Duct adds aggressive carbon texture and aerodynamic character to the iconic 488 side intakes ahead of the door. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Ferrari 488 carbon side air duct bolts directly to OEM mounting points.

The 488 GTB uses these side ducts to feed turbocharger intercoolers for the 661 hp 3.9L V8 twin-turbo F154 CB engine. This carbon panel maintains the functional intercooler duct while being noticeably lighter than the factory plastic.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure, homogeneous resin, a more consistent weave.
• CP Styling: Catalog-internal CP code, distinct design line for the 488 family.
• Intercooler-Friendly: Aggressive looks without restricting airflow.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than OEM plastic.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play installation.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat.

Prepreg Dry Carbon vs. Wet Carbon — Which Is Better?

Most aftermarket carbon parts use wet lay-up, leaving voids. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Autoclave-cured 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
