Changing Lettering on 2012 E550 Cabrio

I'm getting ready to powder coat my wheels to satin black and also wanted to change the lettering and emblems to gloss black.
Has anyone done this change? How do the aftermarket letterings look on the car after install?
Having a hard time finding the trunk star and the hood bonnet in gloss black on eBay. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate it.

I wanted to change the trunk star as well and came up empty. If you find one, please post the source. Thanks!

you'll have faster results if you paint it yourself. buy an aftermarket then paint it any color you want. then keep your original for when you get tired of the painted emblems.
