Default LS6 emblem to replace trunk CTS emblem

I am looking for a LS6 emblem to replace the trunk mounted CTS emblem. I do not want the slanted emblem like the one found on the strut brace. I would rather have the letters stand straight up. Anyone know of a source for such an emblem?

OR

If you have replaced your CTS emblem with an LS6 emblem, post a picture?

Thanks

Thanks for posting but that particular one is similar to the Z06 emblem. I dont prefer it. I want just letters.

I am looking for an emblem like this one from Emblem Pro's but not slanted letters and if possibly, raised letters, not flat.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but noticed these for $17. They look similar to my $50 emblem I got, just not as raised:
Red LS2
Blue LS2

Red LS6
Blue LS6

Be sure to check out the sellers other badges/emblems too.

Mine:

A simple "5.7" or "5.7L" that has the same font and size as the rear "CTS" badge would be a nice touch.

Schram's occasionally sells both the LS2 and the LS6 emblems on eBay. They are GM NOS items.

i think dodge has some chrome 5.7 lettering that might be a similar size to the CTS emblem.

I know what you are referring to and the lettering is different. My buddy has it on his Dodge on the front of the fender. I still would prefer LS6

I bought the Jeep "5.7" but it's too big too.

OldRoadDawg, your "5" and "7" don't look bad. A square/rectangle decimal point would make it look better.

I tried the individual letter/numeral emblems but I didn't care for the look it gave. I removed them in less then 5 minutes.

I know what you mean. I did a lot of experimenting... never could find something I liked, so I left it blank.

Holly crapola are we really that picky? It's just an emblem. You have an LS6 son, leave the emblem off and be thankful you didn't end up with that truck engine. I do feel sorry for them..
