Yes you can.
And even if they dont clearcoat it, you can sand carbon and repolish/clearcoat and it shouldn't hurt the appearence if you do it correctly.
(p.s. alot of manufacturers clearcoat their parts, such as the passwordjdm intake.)

You don't "take the clearcoat off" of the carbon fiber. You just sand over it with some 500 grit sand paper, or something less gritty than that (I recommend a Red 3M Scotchbrite Scuff Pad) and just sand it all over, and re-clear it.
