OK, after my body shop screwed it up, I tried to "eyeball" it, and it came out slanted downward to the passenger side....arrrggghhh! (first photo)

Now?? I'm not fooling around anymore....I've got the emblem placement dimensions w/ factory photos of stock cars and their respective rear decks taped on my trunk, I've centered everything perfectly, distanced the "r" from the "S' to exactly 20mm, space from the sides, bottom, etc., etc.

The biggest problem when doing this is taking into account the fact that the sides and bottom of the trunk are all angled, and then, to add insult to injury, the emblem itself is slightly angled!

Anyway, thanks for the words of encouragement everyone....and yes, I did try it "de-badged" but for me, I think it adds character to the car, with the unique font and color...

I realize I'm the only one who ever would have noticed it wasn't perfect, but it was starting to keep me awake at night!!!!
