2020-25 Cadillac CT5 DRY Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers

Product Overview

Give your Cadillac the premium carbon-fiber upgrade it deserves with this Carbon Package Style Dry Carbon Fiber Front Side Mirror Cover Set — a precision-crafted enhancement designed for 2014–2019 Cadillac CTS, 2016–2019 CTS-V & ATS-V Coupe, 2016–Present CT6 & CT6-V, and 2020–2024 CT5 & CT5-V models.

Built for those who demand both luxury and performance, these side mirror covers are manufactured from 100% pre-preg dry carbon fiber and autoclave-cured for the highest strength-to-weight ratio. Unlike wet carbon overlays, dry carbon fiber offers superior structural rigidity, heat resistance, and a flawless, consistent weave pattern that elevates your Cadillac’s styling.

Inspired by Cadillac’s factory Carbon Package, this upgrade delivers an aggressive yet refined look that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing design. The glossy 3K twill weave finish reflects light beautifully and maintains its deep carbon texture under any condition, while the lightweight design helps reduce unnecessary mass — ideal for both street and performance builds.

Compatible with multiple Cadillac performance platforms, including the CTS-V, CT5-V, and CT6-V, this premium carbon fiber upgrade enhances aerodynamics, durability, and aesthetic presence with true OEM-level precision.

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.
