The CMST carbon fibre aero package for the Porsche Taycan covers six distinct body zones: front lip, side skirts with widebody wheel arches, rear lip, rear wing, and a carbon fibre bonnet — each piece designed and manufactured separately so owners can build incrementally or fit the full set at once. Unlike a single-piece bumper replacement, CMST's modular approach means each element can be colour-specified independently: carbon exposed or body colour, depending on the zone and owner preference. The kit fits all Taycan body variants including the sedan, Sport Turismo, and Cross Turismo on the J1 platform from 2019 onward.

The Carbon Fibre Front Lip

The CMST front lip for the Taycan is shaped to work with the production car's existing lower fascia geometry. The Taycan's standard bumper already features a relatively aggressive lower splitter line — CMST's front lip extends this plane outward and forward, sharpening the car's nose-down visual attitude. The profile uses a combination of flowing curves matching the Taycan's existing body lines with a sharper lower edge that creates shadow and visual depth when viewed from the front.

Construction in carbon fibre means the piece is rigid at speed — it will not flutter at highway velocities the way a thinner FRP piece might. The leading edge of the lip sits close enough to the road surface on lowered ride-height settings that owners should use the Taycan's air suspension raise function when approaching steep driveways. This is not specific to the CMST lip; the factory splitter geometry on Turbo S variants already demands the same care. CMST front lip options for Porsche are available for multiple models beyond the Taycan.

Wave-Form Carbon Side Skirts and Widebody Wheel Arches

The side skirts are the most distinctive element of this CMST kit in terms of design language. Where many aftermarket side skirts run as a flat horizontal extension along the sill, CMST's Taycan skirts use an undulating profile described as wave-form — the bottom edge rises and falls along the sill's length, creating visual motion even on a stationary car. This design echoes the Taycan's production body line, which itself features a sculpted mid-body crease flowing from the front wheel arch to the rear.

The wave-form skirts pair with widebody wheel arch extensions at both the front and rear corners. These arches add physical width to the car's stance, accommodating wider tyres and projecting a more planted appearance. CMST supplies the arches as separate pieces from the skirts, allowing owners to specify different material finishes between the two if desired. On a dark-colour Taycan, leaving the arches in exposed carbon while painting the skirts body colour is one popular configuration; the reverse is equally valid.

Combined, the side skirts and widebody arches lower the car's apparent centre of gravity visually — the additional horizontal mass along the lower body compresses the reading of body height relative to the car's overall length. The Taycan, at 4,963 mm long for the sedan, benefits noticeably from this; without side treatment, the side profile can appear tall relative to its wheelbase length.

Carbon Fibre Rear Lip

The rear lip attaches to the base of the Taycan's rear bumper. CMST's design for the Taycan rear lip incorporates a three-dimensional profile rather than a flat shelf — the piece curves inward toward the bumper's lower edge before the main horizontal element projects rearward, creating depth and making the rear bumper appear more substantial from the following position. The material in exposed carbon fibre provides a strong visual anchor for the rear of the car when combined with carbon skirts and arches.

One practical consideration with the Taycan's rear bumper is the charging port location on rear-quarter panels. The rear lip does not interfere with the charging port access on any Taycan variant, as it mounts well below the port on the lower bumper fascia. No drilling or modification to the bumper's upper structure is required.

The Open-Lattice Carbon Rear Wing

The CMST rear wing for the Taycan uses a perforated or open-lattice mounting pillar structure rather than solid uprights. This construction reduces the visual mass of the wing's support structure, allowing the actual wing element to appear to float above the bootlid surface rather than being planted on two heavy columns. At speed, the lattice mounting does not compromise structural rigidity — carbon fibre laminates achieve high stiffness-to-weight ratios even in relatively thin sections.

The wing element itself is angled to generate rear downforce. Porsche's production Taycan does not come with a fixed rear wing as standard — the factory active rear spoiler deploys variable angles electronically depending on speed and mode. The CMST wing is a fixed replacement, set at a predetermined angle. This means consistent downforce behaviour at speed, but without the variable-angle adaptability of the factory system. Owners choosing the CMST wing should understand this trade-off: enhanced rear stability at sustained highway speeds versus the factory's speed-adaptive behaviour.

Carbon Fibre Bonnet Options

The CMST Taycan bonnet is available as a full carbon fibre replacement panel for the factory steel bonnet. The bonnet incorporates a vent design — CMST offers multiple bonnet vent configurations for the Taycan, allowing owners to choose the vent profile that best suits their build direction. On the Taycan as an electric vehicle, the front "bonnet" is actually a frunk (front storage compartment) rather than an engine bay cover, so the practical thermal-management argument for bonnet venting that applies to petrol cars does not apply here. The vented carbon bonnet on a Taycan is primarily a visual modification, contributing the weight saving and aesthetic that come with any carbon panel replacement.

The weight saving from replacing the factory Taycan frunk lid with a carbon fibre alternative is meaningful — the factory panel is large and steel, and carbon replacements typically reduce panel weight by 50 to 70 per cent. On an EV like the Taycan where overall vehicle mass matters for range and handling, reducing body panel weight is a rational goal even if the mass saving is modest in the context of the car's total kerb weight of approximately 2,100–2,300 kg depending on variant.

Building the Full CMST Taycan Package

Running all CMST carbon pieces on a Taycan — front lip, side skirts, widebody arches, rear lip, rear wing, and bonnet — creates a consistent material finish across every visible modification point on the car. The result is a car that reads as cohesively modified rather than a collection of individual aftermarket pieces. On a Taycan in Night Blue Metallic or Frozen Berry Metallic, the carbon weave provides a high-contrast dark texture against the coloured body, with the wave-form skirts and widebody arches broadening the stance visually without the bulk of a traditional bumper-replacement widebody kit.

Taycan owners who want to start incrementally typically fit the front lip and rear lip first — they are the two pieces with the smallest physical impact but the most immediate visual return — then add side skirts and arches as the build develops. The bonnet and wing are the final major pieces, and both require professional removal and replacement of factory panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I fit just one or two pieces of the CMST Taycan kit rather than the full set?

Yes. CMST designs each Taycan aero piece to work independently. A front lip alone, or a front lip and rear lip combination, are the most common entry points. Each piece mounts to its own factory body locations and does not depend on the adjacent pieces being present. The side skirts pair naturally with the widebody arches but can technically be fitted without them if the owner is not running a widebody build.

Does fitting the CMST widebody arches require any modification to the Taycan's factory wheel arch liners?

Yes. Widebody arch extensions typically require trimming or removal of the factory wheel arch liner's outer lip to allow the new arch panel to sit flush against the body. The liner is reinstalled behind the new arch. This is a straightforward step in a professional installation and does not affect the liner's function as a dirt and water shield for the wheel well.

Is the CMST Taycan carbon kit compatible with all Taycan variants — Taycan 4, 4S, Turbo, Turbo S?

The front lip, side skirts, rear lip, rear wing, and bonnet fit all Taycan sedan variants on the J1 platform. Widebody arch fitment dimensions should be confirmed against the specific variant, as the Turbo and Turbo S use different wheel arch profiles from the base Taycan and 4S. Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo compatibility should be specifically confirmed before ordering.

How should I protect CMST carbon fibre panels in Australia's harsh UV environment?

Apply a UV-stable ceramic coating or automotive-grade clear PPF immediately after installation. Without UV protection, the epoxy resin in the carbon panel will begin to yellow within 12–24 months in Queensland or Western Australian conditions. A quality ceramic coating applied by a professional detailer, refreshed annually, is sufficient to maintain the black weave appearance long-term.

Can I paint some CMST carbon panels body colour while leaving others exposed?

Yes. Each CMST piece can be independently specified. A common Taycan configuration is: body-colour side skirts or arches to create a colour-matched widebody look, with exposed carbon for the front lip, rear lip, bonnet, and wing. The reverse — exposed carbon skirts and arches with painted lip pieces — is also used, though carbon skirts on a painted body without carbon lip pieces can look mismatched.
