at first, I had them too close to the side vents, moved up a bit and I think it's the perfect spot for 'em

wow, thanks guys

please excuse the shittiness of this, but I couldn't really measure from the tip of the emblem to the side vent because it's so curvy right there. the tip of mine is 15.75" from the end of the side skirt and exactly 4" from the widest part of the emblem to the START of the door.



hope that helps you some

- Ron

Ron's Silver TA looks great.

Before you start, wipe the area with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax. Tape the badges on, or have someone hold them up, and get back and look at them. When you think they are in the right spot for your car, make a horizonal mark for the top and a vertical little mark for the bottom point with lipstick or something else that won't harm your paint. Once you peel off the backing and stick them on they will want to stay where they are stuck.
