I could be wrong since I have not seen all the CF parts there are, but I have never come across thick glossy CF before. Real CF I have seen is typically matte and thin. The shiny thick stuff is plastic with CF finish. Even if it were real, the gloss finish is what turns me off; for me gloss belongs on paint not on CF.

Gloss is a popular carbon fiber finish.
Carbon fiber comes in Twill and Plain weave and both come in gloss or matte finish.
All the 100% carbon fiber we have purchased in the past was gloss finish.
I think matte finish carbon fiber would look odd on a bike with gloss paint.

All the carbon fiber that BMW sells that I have seen had a gloss finish.

Here's an example of IImberger carbon fiber sold by BMW.
   

The BMW carbon fiber wheels on a friend's RR are gloss.
