Default Anyone re-located Trans Am door emblems?

I took off my "Trans Am" emblems from my red TA and painted them black, and I was thinking about putting them on in a new spot. My cars paint is really nice still and I was able to clean up the old glue residue good, so seeing the old spot wont be a problem.

I was thinking just moving them down closer the the bottom of the door, has amyone done this? Pics?

I removed mine to have a chrome overlay clearcoated onto them, and decided I liked them better completely off the car. I still have them if ever decide to reinstall them. As for relocating them, I guess I hadn't given it much thought. Play around with them and some cheap double sided tape. See what looks good and see what you like. Good luck man.

I dont think they would look good elsewhere besides the original location. Here is an idea..get some FRC, fill the "Corvette" letterings and use your emblems instead, bam! custom TA FRC!

here is a pic of my old 96 that had the trans am molding moved down to the side skirt behind the front wheel. I liked it alot and it didnt look out of place.
