Measurements for decklid "Carrera" badge
Does anyone have access to a drawing/sketch/pdf that shows the factory position of the standard black "Carrera" decklid badge? I plan to replace mine and will thoroughly clean & polish the area before adhering the new one. I'm sure the old badge will leave a ghost image, but it would be nice to have the measurements just in case.

Don't worry, it won't be until you have it installed and you post a picture that we will tell you it's crooked.

I measured mine before I took it off (measurements at home), but it left such a serious "ghost image", that I did not need them to put it back on. Just measure yours from the bottom of the deck and center it side-to-side.

Well I just took mine off two weeks ago since i had broken it. It did leave a ghost image on the decklid but I was able to get it off. Buffing at a body shop, not 10 minutes of work and off it was. Now clean look.
I love it. You may like it better w/o.

I actually like the nice contrast of the black script on the silver lid, and already have the new emblem...
I'll just use a cloth tape to take measurements before removing the existing emblem.
I just seem to remember seeing a factory drawing that depicted the measurements.

Take a photo of your car using color slide film. You can then project the film image onto your car, ensuring a perfect re-creation. Or you could just slap it up there and hope for the best.
