Default Black Turbo deck lid emblem source

Does anyone know if there is a source for a rear deck lid " Turbo" emblem in black?
I would like to swap out my chrome emblem for one.

Suncoast & others sell a gray primer emblem ready for paint. But I would prefer one already in black.

Thxs in Advance

Thxs Kevin.

The 1st link item is to small . Approx 5 inches in length. The OEM one is approx. 7 inches.

The 2nd link is a turbo emblem for a older model. Script/font style is wrong for 996 TT

I could not find one the exact same size. I took mine off and cleaned it, rubbed it with sand paper and scotch brite pad, cleaned it again, and then sprayed it with 3-4 coats of matte black. The bought some double sided emblem tape and cut it to size with exacto knife and put it back on. Came out perfect.

There you go: do a sticker. "Add lightness!"

I got one of the 5" versions and tried it on my yellow TT. It just looked a little "off."
