Default TRANS AM emblems slanted

Ok I got the old ones off and the new ones on..They look good but I they are a little slanted, so my question is can I take the hair dryer to the emblem again to heat it up so I can slide the letters up or down? Has anyone ran into this problem as well, and how did you fix it..Thanks everyone...

Here is what I did..

I had the measurements from the body shop on where they are positioned on the door exactly. Measured it out and marked it with a pencil. Then take masking tape and box in the area that the emblems go. Use a small level to make sure you have the tape level. Do that, and I think you will pleased with the results. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Good thinking...I had someone look at them yesterday and they were unable to tell that they were slanted a little, so I am just going to leave them. In our minds its never perfect but we are the only ones who know the truth <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Wish I wouls have thought about that earlier, but that was a great idea Justian

Wouldn't use level unless where you're
parked is level.Concrete slopes for drainage
Better off measuring then draw line.
