More and more people use carbon fiber to make their OEM auto parts. There are 2 kinds of surfaces for the customers to choose from. matte finish and glossy finish. Some people think both surfaces is good and hard to decide which surface for their carbon fiber parts. If you are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of both surfaces, I believe you can make a good choice.
glossy finish:
The surface looks very shiny
Easier to clean and maintain, stains can be easily wiped off. This is because the surface have a clear coated and very smooth.
The glossy finish makes the space appear larger as it reflects light. it is very suitable for the small space
matte finish:
Flat finish
Matte is the more modern look and more subtle
slightly lighter than the glossy finish since they have no clear coat.
The surface is not easy to be scratch, and even if there is, it less visible.
glossy finish:

matte finish:
