Porsche 718 (982) | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap

Porsche 718 (982, 2016+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap

Engineered for Porsche 718 Cayman, Boxster and Spyder (982 chassis, 2016+) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Mirror Cap set replaces the factory plastic or painted mirror caps with a real carbon, lightweight, durable alternative. Made to OEM-fit tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 718 carbon mirror cap set clips directly onto factory mounting points: no cutting, drilling or adhesive required.

The 982-generation 718 family is one of the purest expressions of Porsche's mid-engine identity. From the 2.0L and 2.5L flat-4 turbos to the 4.0L flat-6 naturally-aspirated unit in the GTS 4.0, Spyder, GT4 and GT4 RS (500 hp), it covers a wide trim range. Mirror caps are one of the most visible side-profile details on the car; this dry carbon mirror cap set delivers a motorsport-inspired look while autoclave-cured prepreg technology provides a worthwhile weight saving, very high strength for its weight and outstanding UV resistance compared with wet-lay carbon.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Full Cap Replacement: Replaces the OEM cap entirely; the mirror body remains stock.
• Pair Set: Left and right mirror caps supplied as a set.
• Lightweight: A worthwhile weight saving versus the OEM plastic/painted part.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory 982 mirror clip points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat resists fading, cracking and wash chemicals.

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. 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 over years of use

Installation Notes

1. Start from the lower edge of the mirror cap with a plastic pry wedge.
2. Carefully release the OEM cap from its clip points.
3. Clean clip contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol.
4. Align the new carbon cap and press firmly onto the clip points.
5. Verify that the cap edges sit flush with no gaps.

Care & Maintenance

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