Porsche 911 (991 / 991.2) | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip

Porsche 911 (991 / 991.2, 2012-2019) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip

Engineered for Porsche 911 991 / 991.2 owners, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber Front Lip bolts to the underside of the OEM front bumper to lower the nose, reduce front-axle lift, and add aggressive GT silhouette. Quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 911 carbon front lip mounts via screws plus 3M VHB tape to the OEM bumper lower edge: no cutting required.

A front lip plays a critical role in the rear-engine 911's aerodynamics: it routes air under the bumper to increase front-axle downforce and feeds clean air to the side canards. Fits all Carrera bumpers from the 991.1 Carrera 3.4L/3.8L NA flat-six to the 991.2 Carrera 3.0L twin-turbo and the 580 hp Turbo S. Autoclave-cured dry carbon is noticeably lighter than wet-lay parts plus excellent UV resistance.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Autoclave cure under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Front Downforce: Reduces front-axle lift; improves steering feel at speed.
• GT Silhouette: Lowers the nose for a GT3 / Cup-inspired stance.
• Direct OEM Fit: Mounts via screws + 3M VHB tape to the 991 / 991.2 Carrera front bumper lower edge.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Deep carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Lightweight: Noticeably lighter than traditional wet-lay carbon.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Clear coat resists fading and road-tar splash.

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:

• Cured in an autoclave 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

Clean the front bumper lower edge with isopropyl alcohol.

Dry-fit the lip under the front bumper and align.

Install supplied screws at the indicated points (typically 6-8 anchors).

Remove the 3M VHB liner and press the lip firmly into place.

Avoid washing the car for 24 hours.

Care & Maintenance

Wash with pH-neutral car shampoo. Apply carbon-safe sealant every 6 months. Keep pressure washer 30 cm away. The lip leading edge is exposed to road debris. PPF (paint protection film) is recommended.
