"Boxster S" Emblem Template???

Hi Gang,
Due to years of fine grit and road rash, I had my local paint shop, the same my local Porsche dealer uses for repair work, paint my hood and front and rear bumper, and the work is phenomenal.

As a favor, I asked if they could replace my old and faded “Boxster S” emblem, which they did, but having no 986 template, it ended up being crooked. Now it’s all I can see and think about!!!!!!

I know there have been many threads on this topic, and I’m fairly certain I have the correct diagram and measurements sourced online, however, does anyone happen to have a pre-existing template for its placement? It would have to be made from an original, factory placed emblem. As mine has been removed and replaced, I’ll be starting from scratch…

I’m obviously looking for something someone has used previously (homemade), as the factory placement templates are $700+ dollars…and impossible to find for the 986.

I’d be happy to pay someone for their template, or as an alternative, if someone could provide a few pictures of their original emblem, with a few pictures showing scale and general proximity to trunk lines, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

As an alternative, if someone is aware of a local bodyshop that does have the template, please let me know, as I could reach out to them to see if I could "rent" their piece....insane I know, but if it costs me $50 + shipping to have it placed perfectly for another 18 years, then I'm OK with that!

Only interested in the 986 size, not 987, 981, etc. My car is an ’03.

Thank you in advance everyone!!!!
