Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 W463 (2018+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V2 Hood Add-on

Engineered for Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 W463 (2018+ facelift) owners, this Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber V2 Hood Add-on adds a sharper, more modern carbon detail to the G-Wagen hood with an alternative geometry distinct from the classic version. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, the V2 features a wider, more aggressive scoop line than the classic add-on.

If you want a different visual direction from the classic G63 hood add-on, this V2 dry carbon hood add-on is the choice. It uses the same OEM hood mounting principle but a different surface pattern; the two designs are alternatives, not stack-on, and your project style determines the pick.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• V2 Geometry: Wider, more aggressive scoop line vs. the classic version.
• 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: 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
