Does anyone have the correct measurements as to positioning the badges on the fenders and the trunk deck?  I.E.: distance from the fender crease and distance from the door?  That would be good reference as to where to place the Grand National badge and the Intercooled goes just below in line with the GN emblem.  

I think the trunk lid emblem is placed a certain distance from the left side and down from the spoiler.

Is there a specific measurement for these?  I thought it was somewhat approximated.. .

Kirban's says 1" from left edge of trunk lid and 3/4" up from top edge of trunk lip molding to base of the 6 in the emblem

It says that the point of the 6 should be 2" from the edge of the fender and about 6" down from the top edge of the fender where it meets the door with the intercooled emblem 2/16" or 3/16" below that.

I'm just trying to get it right the first time. Once they are placed on the car, IMO, there's no going back to do it over without messing up the adhesive backing.

Thanks for the advice.  Your measurements seem to be pretty much on the money.

I would've sworn there was a diagram for this on gnttype at one time...

Edit:  I have this that I scarfed off of gnttype years ago when it went offline:

Thanks Gordo. That does help if I ever get my T or GN back together.

One more for my genius??? :jerkit;   Measured the GN emblem to a "T", but screwed up on the Intercooler emblem.  It's called, not paying attention to what someone tells you.
Anywho, I got precise on the Gn emblem and placed the Intercoller emblem snug, below the GN emblem.  For not having the 1/8" spacing, it looks pretty good IMO.  Sure as heck ain't going to pull it off and re-do.  It is what it is.  Wish that was all I had to worry about.

My thanks goes out again to all the help.  Body shop is going to buff out the area where the GN emblem goes on the trunk lid as there are some very light cloth scratches, then on goes the emblem.  

I'm curious about the bulge emblems, do a lot of guys just leave them off as they appear be a pain to clean and wax around?
