Porsche 911 991 / 991.2 | Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber PKT Hood

Porsche 911 991 / 991.2 Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber PKT Hood

Engineered for Porsche 911 991/991.2 owners who want a distinctive carbon front-end with meaningful front-axle weight savings, this Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Fiber PKT Hood replaces the factory aluminum panel with a tougher, lighter, motorsport-inspired part. Made to factory-spec tolerances by leading manufacturers around the world and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche 911 PKT carbon hood bolts directly to OEM hinge and latch points: no cutting, no drilling.

The 911 is a rear-engine flat-6 icon: the 991.1 and 991.2 generations cover everything from the Carrera through the GT3 and GT2 RS. This PKT Hood is a carbon upgrade for 991/991.2 Carrera, Carrera S, GTS, Turbo and Turbo S owners replacing the factory aluminum hood. Autoclave-cured prepreg construction is noticeably lighter than OEM, with superior structural integrity and outstanding UV resistance.

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:

• 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
