I have not been able to find gloss carbon either. Only found matte from AFE and Autotecknic

I have read that the heat from the turbos can cause the gloss coating to yellow and that's why it is only offered in matte, not sure if that is actually true though.

It is true!
A member on here has one, but he is using turbo blankets to keep temps down.
I'm not sure if he's having any issues, but if he is then most definitely anyone who isn't using turbo blankets will have issues.
