check with emblempros. they have a design for the lettering to be in black and outlined in red. check the appearance section for the emblempro's thread. there's a bunch of pages to look through but i believe once again Sommer86, got those emblems im talking about.

Satin, gloss looks terrible IMO.. The point of the berger panel is for it to offset the glossyness of the cars regular paint.
