I had the entirety of my interior CF, including seatbacks, covered in standard Xpel gloss film when I had my 5BW done. No trim had to be removed, including seatbacks. While it's true that most of the trim is probably in a location that isn't super scratch prone, I wanted maximum coverage especially on the center console around the shifter and the seatbacks. I also debated between gloss and matte, but my installer did a test piece with matte and it definitely took away a lot of the texture/pattern that comes through on the CF so I stuck with gloss.Curious about your feeling on the interior PPF. I asked my PPF guy about stealth PPF on the screen and gloss for the carbon (just the center console, I don’t have the carbon seats). But my guy was very reluctant on interior PPF. Basically he said use a screen protector for the screen (like a phone screen) and don’t worry about the carbon because it’s got a pattern that won’t really show scratches. He seemed concerned about removing the PPF, esp the screen. I haven’t noticed any glare from the screen so I just left it naked
For the screen, my installer also didn't recommend using the exterior film on the screen; thankfully there are phone-screen style protectors readily available in both gloss and matte, one source below:
