Porsche 718 (982) | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Front Fender

Porsche 718 (982, 2016+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Front Fender

Engineered for Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxster (982 chassis, 2016+) owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Vented Front Fender set replaces the factory steel or plastic fenders with a carbon alternative featuring functional air outlets. Made to OEM-fit tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 718 carbon front fender bolts to factory mounting points without cutting.

The 982-generation 718 family blends mid-engine balance with Porsche's track DNA. From 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), the 718 spans a wide trim ladder. This dry carbon vented front fender set exhausts hot air from the front wheel arches, improving brake cooling and underbody aero with GT4 RS / Spyder RS-inspired aesthetics. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon delivers significant weight savings versus the OEM panel.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave-cured under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Functional Air Outlet: Directional vent extracts hot air from the wheel arch, supports brake cooling and aerodynamics.
• Pair Set: Left + right fenders supplied as a set.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than the OEM fender.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon pattern under high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Direct OEM Fit: Plug & play on factory 982 front-fender mounting points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Resists fading, cracking, stone chips and road salt.

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

Most aftermarket carbon parts are made using wet lay-up, with hand-applied resin 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. Remove fender screws at the front bumper edge.
2. Detach clips and edge fittings inside the wheel arch.
3. Carefully separate the OEM fender.
4. Test-fit the carbon fender for alignment.
5. Secure with supplied hardware; adjust panel gaps.
6. Repeat on the opposite side.

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.
