Matte Carbon parts.

Anyone know of a seller or manufacturer that sells/makes Matte carbon parts? I really dislike the shinyness of most carbon parts sold for our cars but can't find a single seller that actually offers matte. I assume this is because they all source from generally the same manufacturer.

Carboproject has matte peices available. I'm not sure if all parts have matte options but the intake and some interor trim definitely do

What parts are you looking to get? Matte/Dry Carbon is super difficult to repair - for certain exterior areas that are prone to rock chips, the XPEL stealth is a great option! Otherwise, those carboproject pieces seem very quality.

Just buy any glossy CF part and go over it with a matte clear?

Mainly side skirts, diffuser, and side vents. Those three exterior parts mirrors also.
