Buy compound and use it on the matte gloss part. Will make it glossy, it's cheap, and easy. Just dont use it when its hot out. You can use it on scuffs on the paint and a lot of other parts of the car.

I did buy some maguires compound and that's how I got the weird glossy/matte look. Only way I kno how to fix it is to remove it and start over now that I kno what to do

It's weird how that works. The same thing happened to my friend when he blacked out the turn signals on his SC.

I think vinyl wrapping is a great idea just because it's removable. With paint you need to wet sand and polish them to get the glossy look.

Hated the tails when I first got the car but it looks good as hell when it's all cleaned up.

Once I smoked my sidemarkers and stuffed them in the oven to dry faster and when i got them out they were glossier than when I threw them in. Try it if youre feeling brave, just dont leave it unattended or else you risk melting them lol.
