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

Engineered for Porsche 911 991 / 991.2 owners, this European-made Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Vented Front Fender is a direct, GT3 RS / GT2 RS-inspired motorsport replacement for the factory aluminum/steel fender. Manufactured to factory-spec mounting tolerances and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 911 carbon vented front fender bolts directly to OEM mounting points — no cutting, no modification required.

The integrated louver vent on the top surface evacuates high-pressure air from the front wheel arch, increasing front-axle downforce — a technique standard on GT3 R, GT3 Cup, and GT3 RS race cars. In the 911's rear-engine flat-6 architecture, front-axle load is light, and a vented fender turns the front wheel area of a factory Carrera, Turbo S, or GT3 into a visually and functionally race-derived assembly. Noticeably lighter than the OEM steel fender.

Key Features

• Prepreg Dry Carbon Technology: Autoclave cure under high heat and pressure; a more consistent weave.
• Integrated Louver Vent: GT3 RS / GT3 Cup-inspired; evacuates wheel-arch pressure and boosts front downforce.
• Major Weight Saving: Noticeably lighter than OEM sheet steel fender.
• Direct OEM Fit: Bolts directly to 991 / 991.2 front fender mounting points.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Deep carbon pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• Side Marker & Sensor Compatible: OEM side marker cutout preserved.
• Sold Per Side: Left and right variants available separately (check variant selection).

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
• Controlled resin ratio → noticeably lighter
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use

FAQ

Does this fit the 992 (2020+)?
No. 992-generation front fender geometry is different.

Does this fit the 997?
No. The 997 is the previous generation.

Compatible with Turbo / Turbo S?
Turbo wide-body fender width differs from Carrera; confirm trim before ordering.

Compatible with GT3?
Yes. 991.1 GT3 and 991.2 GT3 front fender mounting is the same as Carrera.

Compatible with Cabriolet and Targa?
Yes. 991/991.2 front-end geometry is identical across all Carrera body styles.

Does the vent actually generate downforce?
Yes. Evacuating wheel-arch pressure reduces front lift — a proven motorsport technique.
