CF Parts - What finish?

We're in the process of making some new exterior and engine bay pieces in CF and was wondering what finish would everyone prefer their carbon fiber to be in?

Matte CF:




or

CF w/ Clear

depends on where these CF are going. I usually like it shiny on the outside but probably matte on the inside
