Default Glossy engine covers - who has them?

I received my victory red engine covers from Fred Beans yesterday and they are not very glossy (has a low sheen instead of a glossy finish). Does anyone know if the Ecklers "smooth" engine covers are glossy?

I considered spraying the covers with a high gloss clear, but I am not ready to go there yet.

Assume you mean the one in my picture file... just the OEM plate polished up a bit... this is the plate you can replace with the 'Abs of Steel' version from a forum vendor.
