Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 W463 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Hood Add-on

Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 W463 (2018+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Hood Add-on

Engineered for Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 W463 (2018+ facelift, "Strong of Time") owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Hood Add-on adds an aggressive bonnet-vent / scoop aesthetic to the characteristic upright G-Wagen hood. Imported from leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this classic hood add-on bonds directly to the OEM hood.

If your G63 AMG build needs a striking carbon center-line detail, this dry carbon hood add-on is the answer. Distinct from the V2 design, this classic version sits on the front center area of the hood. Autoclave-cured prepreg construction ensures long-life UV resistance.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Classic G63 Hood Add-on Design: Aggressive scoop line on the upright hood center.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic pattern under UV-protective clear coat.
• 3M VHB Tape Mounting: Pre-applied automotive-grade tape; bolt-kit variant available.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat.
• Lightweight: No additional load on hood hinges.
• Direct OEM Fit: Designed for the W463 2018+ hood surface.

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

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

• Autoclave-cured → a more consistent weave
• Controlled resin ratio → lighter, stronger
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading

Installation Notes

1. Clean and dry the hood surface with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Test-fit the add-on, confirm center references.
3. Tape version: peel 3M protective film progressively, press the part onto the surface.
4. Bolt version: secure at marked points to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
5. Avoid car washes for 24 hours.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer 30 cm from tape edges.
