Porsche Panamera 971 (2017+) Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip

Engineered for Porsche Panamera 971 (G2, 2017+) owners, this motorsport-inspired Prepreg Dry Carbon Fiber Front Lip drops the front bumper line of your luxury GT sedan and reinforces the GT character with an aggressive sport profile. Manufactured in Europe and quality-controlled by BYC Performance, this Porsche Panamera carbon front lip mounts to the OEM front bumper underside using 3M VHB tape and factory screw points — no permanent cutting required.

If you are building a Porsche Panamera tuning project and want a front-end aero piece that lowers the visual stance and channels airflow under the car, this dry carbon front lip is built for you. Autoclave-cured prepreg carbon fiber is noticeably lighter than wet-lay carbon parts, offers very high strength for its weight, and resists long-term UV fading. Visually matches the 971's 4.0L V8 biturbo (Turbo / Turbo S, 550-630 hp) and Turbo S E-Hybrid (700 hp combined) performance signature.

Key Features

• Prepreg (Dry) Carbon Technology: Pre-impregnated carbon plies cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure for a more consistent weave and balanced resin distribution.
• Aggressive Front Lip Profile: Sits under the front bumper to lower the visual stance with motorsport-inspired geometry.
• Race-Grade Strength: Carbon fiber offers very high strength for its weight. Resists stone chips and light contact.
• Aerodynamic Performance: Supports front-axle downforce behavior at speed.
• 2x2 Twill Carbon Weave: Authentic carbon fiber pattern under a high-gloss UV-protective clear coat.
• 3M VHB + Screw Mounting: Combines 3M VHB tape and OEM front-bumper underside screw points.
• UV & Chemical Protection: Long-life clear coat protects against fading, cracking, bug spatter, and road tar.

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 — leaving air voids and inconsistent weight. Prepreg (dry) carbon:

• Cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure → a more consistent weave
• A controlled resin ratio → lighter and stronger for its weight
• The production method widely chosen in motorsport
• Minimal UV fading over years of use
