Product Overview
Transform the exterior look of your Cadillac with this Carbon Package Style Dry Carbon Fiber Front Side Mirror Cover Set, engineered for an exact fit on a wide range of Cadillac performance and luxury models, including 2014-2019 CTS Sedan, 2016-2019 ATS-V and CTS-V Coupe, 2016-Present CT6 / CT6-V, and 2020-Present CT5 / CT5-V.
Each mirror cap is constructed from 100 % pre-preg dry carbon fiber, autoclave-cured for maximum strength, heat resistance, and weight savings. Unlike standard fiberglass or wet-carbon overlays, dry carbon fiber delivers a deeper 3K twill weave pattern, perfect uniformity, and true OEM-grade quality.
Inspired by Cadillac’s factory Carbon Package, these mirror covers combine luxury styling with race-ready materials, adding a refined yet aggressive aesthetic to your vehicle. The glossy clear-coat finish resists UV fading and oxidation, maintaining a flawless appearance for years. Designed to fit precisely over your existing mirrors, they provide a seamless factory look while reducing weight and enhancing aerodynamics.
Whether you drive a supercharged CTS-V, a sleek CT5-V, or a flagship CT6-V, this premium carbon fiber upgrade delivers show-car styling and long-lasting performance to match Cadillac’s high-performance design language.

About Dry Carbon Fiber
Dry Carbon Fiber vs Wet Carbon Fiber — What’s the Difference?
Not all carbon fiber parts are made the same. The biggest distinction comes down to how the carbon is processed — commonly known as dry carbon and wet carbon. Both use genuine carbon fiber weave, but the production method, finish, and performance are completely different.
Manufacturing Process
Dry carbon fiber parts are produced using a pre-preg (pre-impregnated) carbon cloth, where the exact amount of resin is pre-applied by the manufacturer. These sheets are then vacuum-sealed and cured under high pressure and temperature in an autoclave, removing excess air and resin.
The result is a light, extremely strong, and precisely formed component — the same process used in motorsport and aerospace applications.
Wet carbon fiber, on the other hand, uses a hand-lay or wet-lay method. The carbon cloth is laid into a mold and liquid resin is manually brushed or poured over it before curing. Because it’s not vacuum-bagged or autoclave-cured, there’s usually more trapped resin and air pockets, leading to a heavier part and a less uniform finish.
Weight & Strength
Dry carbon fiber is roughly 30–50% lighter than wet carbon. This is due to the controlled resin ratio — just enough to bind the fibers without unnecessary weight.
By comparison, wet carbon or carbon-over-fiberglass parts can be up to 70% heavier, since excess resin and fiberglass layers add mass without increasing stiffness.
For reference:
- Carbon Fiber Density: ~1.55 g/cm³
- Fiberglass Density: ~2.6 g/cm³
Dry carbon also offers a much higher modulus of elasticity (~125 GPa), giving it outstanding rigidity under stress — ideal for aerodynamic and high-load components.
Visual & Structural Differences
-
Backside: A true dry carbon piece will look identical front and back — you can see the same woven pattern throughout.
Wet carbon or fiberglass-backed parts often have a dull, uneven underside with visible fiberglass texture or color variation. -
Edges: Solid dry carbon has clean, uniform black edges.
Wet carbon or overlay parts may show a white or grey line along the edge, revealing the fiberglass underneath — sometimes hidden with black paint trim. -
Finish: Dry carbon typically has a consistent matte or satin finish, while wet carbon can appear glossy but uneven due to hand-applied resin.
