The standard finish on them is a matte one that is done during the manufacturing process.

If you want a gloss look then you would need to look at having it lacquered in gloss to give it some bling.

Fair e snuff, probably a tad more effort than it's worth.


Just seems a shame to not show of that lovely carbon to full effect.

Depending on how thick the surface layer of resin? is, try 3000 grit wet & dry very carefully or maybe a fine car abrasive polish like Meguires ScratchX, then a good wax finish.
Or get down to a car sprayer and ask for a few coats of laquer and then a polish.
