CMST Porsche Taycan Carbon Fibre Body Kit
The CMST carbon-fibre kit for the Porsche Taycan is a dry-carbon aero package — carbon bonnet, front lip, side skirts, rear lip and rear spoiler — paired with CMST forged wheels. Designed for the first-generation Taycan (2019–2020 onward), it transforms the electric Porsche's smooth factory bodywork with exposed carbon detailing and a lower, wider stance. The example here is a Thailand-based build that contrasts gloss-red paint against black carbon panels, showing how effectively the kit sharpens the Taycan's already striking shape.

Carbon styling for an electric Porsche
The Taycan is Porsche's electric four-door, and its clean, aerodynamic shape leaves plenty of scope for tasteful carbon detailing. CMST's approach is restrained but effective: rather than a heavy widebody, it dresses the car in dry carbon-fibre panels that add aggression and lower the visual ride height while respecting the Taycan's elegant lines. The exposed weave provides contrast against body colour and signals the car has been carefully built. Browse the platform's options in the CMST body kit for Porsche collection.
Carbon bonnet: lighter and sharper
Swapping the factory bonnet for the CMST carbon item is the change that most alters the Taycan's face — the dark carbon panel adds a hard, sporting edge to the front and contrasts strongly with a coloured body. As with any carbon bonnet, it is significantly lighter than the original panel and removes weight from high over the front axle, which benefits the car's balance. On the example car, the carbon bonnet gives the red Taycan a noticeably more purposeful front. View options in the CMST hood for Porsche collection.
Carbon front lip: airflow and presence
The carbon front lip extends the leading edge of the front bumper, which both sharpens the look and manages airflow under the nose. By smoothing and reducing the air passing beneath the car, a front lip improves high-speed stability and helps the front end feel more planted. It is a key piece for giving the Taycan a lower, more aggressive face. Standalone options are in the CMST front lip for Porsche collection.
Carbon side skirts: lower the stance, protect the body
The carbon side skirts run along the sill to visually drop the car and bridge the front and rear. Functionally they provide a degree of airflow management along the flanks and add a measure of protection to the lower bodywork. Their carbon construction keeps them light and lets the weave feature as part of the design. The off-car studio piece shows the full length and the clean weave CMST uses; view options in the CMST side skirts for Porsche collection.
CMST forged wheels: safety, weight and stance
Wheels are a safety-critical component, and the example car runs CMST forged wheels designed around durability and stability as well as appearance. Forged construction produces a wheel that is typically stronger and lighter than a cast equivalent, reducing unsprung mass for sharper handling response — a worthwhile gain on a heavy EV like the Taycan. The black multi-spoke forged wheels also fill the arches cleanly and complete the lowered stance. See options in the CMST wheels for Porsche and CMST carbon fibre wheels for Porsche collections.
Rear: carbon lip and spoiler
At the back, a carbon rear lip and rear spoiler finish the conversion. Both are moulded from the original car, which gives them a precise, seamless fit against the factory bodywork — the kind of tight, gap-free integration that marks out a quality kit. The rear pieces add visual depth and a measure of rear-end stability, and on the example car they give the tail a fuller, more three-dimensional look. Spoiler options are in the CMST spoiler for Porsche collection.
Why dry carbon fibre suits the Taycan
The kit is built from dry carbon fibre, and the choice is deliberate.
| Property | Benefit on the Taycan |
|---|---|
| Low weight | Trims mass on a heavy EV; the carbon bonnet removes weight high over the front axle |
| Woven finish | Exposed weave contrasts with body colour and reads as premium |
| Rigidity | Holds aero shapes precisely and resists flex at speed |
| Moulded-from-original fit | Rear pieces taken from the factory car fit tightly with clean panel gaps |
For owners who want the carbon look with real weight saving, this is an ideal package. Compare the broader range in the All Carbon Fibre Body Kit collection or browse the brand on the CMST page.
Carbon aero on a heavy EV: what it does and doesn't do
The Taycan is a heavy car — its battery pack alone adds substantial mass low in the chassis — so it is worth being clear about what a carbon body kit changes. The carbon panels in this kit replace heavier factory items and trim weight, with the bonnet removing mass from high over the front axle where it most affects balance and turn-in. That is a genuine, if modest, dynamic benefit on a car this size. The aero pieces — front lip, side skirts and rear spoiler — sharpen airflow at the extremities, adding a measure of high-speed stability and a more planted feel.
What a styling kit like this does not do is alter the Taycan's drivetrain, range or power; those are unaffected by exterior carbon. The honest summary is that this is primarily an appearance and stance upgrade with secondary weight and aero benefits, rather than a performance overhaul. For most owners, the appeal is exactly that: a Taycan that looks dramatically more aggressive and individual while keeping the car's everyday usability intact.
Building the look: paint-and-carbon contrast
One reason the example car works so well is the deliberate contrast between gloss-red paint and exposed black carbon. Leaving the bonnet, lip, skirts and rear spoiler in their natural weave against a bold body colour is a proven way to highlight the carbon and give the car visual structure. The same approach suits other Taycan colours — a white, grey or dark-blue car all gain definition from exposed carbon panels. If you prefer a stealthier look, the carbon pieces can instead be painted to body colour, though most owners choose to show the weave. Explore the brand's full carbon range on the CMST page to plan your combination.
Fitment and finish in Australia
The kit is a bolt-on/bond-on carbon package best installed by a workshop experienced with carbon panels. Plan for careful alignment of the bonnet and clean fitment of the lips, skirts and rear pieces, which — being moulded from the original car — should sit tightly with minimal adjustment. Exposed carbon should be protected with a UV-stable clear-coat and, where practical, kept out of prolonged harsh Australian sun to preserve the weave. As always, confirm any bonnet or ride-height changes meet your state's requirements. To plan a Taycan build, start with the CMST body kit for Porsche collection.
Frequently asked questions
Which Porsche Taycan does the CMST kit fit?
It is designed for the first-generation Porsche Taycan (2019–2020 onward). Confirm your exact model year and body variant with our team before ordering, as Taycan body styles differ across the range.
Is the kit real carbon fibre?
Yes. The bonnet, front lip, side skirts, rear lip and rear spoiler are made from dry carbon fibre — prepreg sheets cured under heat and pressure — which gives the lightest weight and the exposed woven finish.
Are the rear pieces a good fit?
Yes. The rear lip and spoiler are moulded from the original car, so they follow the factory bodywork closely and fit with clean, consistent panel gaps. A moulded-from-original piece needs far less adjustment than a generic part.
Why fit forged wheels to a Taycan?
Forged wheels are typically stronger and lighter than cast wheels, which reduces unsprung mass for sharper handling — useful on a heavy EV. CMST forged wheels are designed around safety and stability as well as appearance, and they complete the lowered stance.
Does the carbon bonnet improve performance?
It is lighter than the factory bonnet and removes weight from high over the front axle, which benefits the car's balance and handling response. Its main benefits are weight reduction and a sharper, more aggressive front.
Can I fit just the bonnet or front lip first?
Yes. The carbon bonnet, front lip, skirts, rear lip and spoiler are available individually, so you can stage the build — many owners start with the bonnet and front lip, then add the skirts, rear pieces and wheels later.
