Default Emblem installation

I'm picking the car up from the paint shop this week and i have a couple of questions on how to apply emblems to the car. I have emblems from Dragonz8 and i wanted to know:

1. What are the exact locations too apply my SS fender emblems, and rear panel emblems?

2. Is there any type of prep work i need to do before applying the emblems?

3. Do i need to heat the emblems or surface before applying, the temperature in my area is around 45 to 60 degrees.

4. Are there any other tips for appplying emblems

I wouldnt heat the area, I would just use alcohol pads to clean and prep the area.

The side embelems should go right in the center of the fender behind the front wheel. Make sure that it isnt flush with the side molding, There should be a small gap.

For the rear embelem, that should go underneath the passenger tail light pff center to the right. I would check out some pics, as I dont know how else to explain it.

Get someone to measure there's for you. I don't have time right now but, if you still haven't gotten an answer by the time I can measure mine, I'll post the info.

No, the manual wont tell you. I would go to your local body shop, or a GM certified body shop and they can give you the specifications on placement.
