I ordered a gloss carbon fiber replacement part for my 2018 GT. It arrived in matte finish. I was told by the concierge that all CF parts come in raw form and I need to have it clear coated to match my other CF gloss parts. Is this correct or was I given bad information?

Yes, it will just need to have the appropriate clear coat applied.

I had the same issue and had my finish applied and it matched perfectly

The same as if you ordered a fender. It wouldn't be painted, either.

yup just have someone wet sand it and clear it. I do it for a living and am very familiar with it.
