Don't do it. You'll just be borrowing trouble. On early model C7s with these plastic emblems they sometimes would break or snag clothing. More recent seats seem to have a recess for the emblem to minimize this, but your 1LT seat cover won't have it.

I believe 1LT and 2LT seats are the same with the exception of the emblems on the 2LT; correct?
If so, it doesn't make much sense as to why GM just didn't include the emblems on both.
Replacing your back seat covers w/2LT type would be an option if you don't mind spending the approx $500 for them.
By the way, is it much trouble replaceing the back seat covers?

If you really want them, and it will cost a bunch of dough, you could search for a set of 2LT seat back covers with the emblems already set. The 3LT has a different leather, and won't match.

The emblem on the 2LT uses a plastic bracket in the seat back. That's why the emblem seems to be dented into the seat. If you were to try cutting off the pins on the emblem and glueing (or double stick) it the seat it's going to catch on clothing and woman's hair.
Like me be proud of your 1LT. Take solace that your 1LT is rarer than 2 or 3 LTs.

Actually, if you are talking about Stingrays (excluding Grand Sports and Z06's), the 1LT is NOT rarer.

FWIW, I've never caught my hair on them.

I have never even come close to catching my clothing on it, so hard to imagine how people end up breaking them....

I read of a few who snagged their hair and hoodie on the emblem a while ago, but the matter seems to have been remedied.
