Can't say I've come across any however you could always remove the backing plate of the OEM M Performance trim. It's only plastic welded on and can be reattached with glue and some small self tapping screws.
I wrapped mine in a laser cut piece of alcantara to replicate the GTS perforations.
As for going gloss.. not sure if you already have a dry carbon set right now, but making it gloss again (if) on OEM wouldn't look quite perfect. You can make it gloss by building up some resin layers, then having it clear coated, however the real kicker would be the weave as it'll appear very dark.
OEM gloss carbon comes out of a mould rather than hand laid, when it's in a mould the individual strands are pressed firmly flat whilst curing giving off a more unified look, this is what gives each tow of the twill a solid and brighter look.. on hand laid gloss or OEM "dry carbon" you see the individual strands that make up each tow, this darkens everything quite a lot.
