if your mirrors are gloss black then i would agree with the gloss black option.... but flat black always looks sick IMO.... but i am going with a flat black manta stripe kit so.... hahaha

I have a semi-gloss black berger panel with red letters, looks good to me. You need to fill in the lettering with some kind of color though otherwise it looks like you bought a black panel and just haven't painted it to match yet.

When I re-do it, I am doing it in gloss black though to match the roof and mirrors and stainless fill-ins. Here's an old cell phone picture of how it is now:

I have pretty much the same car as you. Gloss black panel. Hope this helps.....

I put red lettering on it, but I thought that it was too much along with the red Z28 badge, so I decided to stick with the badge and take the lettering off...

Eventually when I get a set of stainless emblems for the car I'll probably get red letters for it again

You could always toss the Z28 badge and do this
