I'm thinking of doing the same thing. What measurements did you use to center it and between the letters?

It came on a piece of paper like shown on the first picture, I had to center a few letters that were alittle crooked, but I used the same on the paper as they came tho. Then I took the yellow tape and put straight on, made a straight line on the car, meassured how long it was from one side to another, how long the letters was and followed the line on the car with the letters on the new strap. Might mess up your head with my typing, I'm not the best at describing I'm affraid.
Hope it helped.
With regards, HolmaN.

Sorry for the low res...I made this a couple of years ago and have since lost the pic, but luckily google had a cached thumb.
If you want the emblem to look correct from all angles, you need a slight upward curve at the end (look at the emblems on new 981's). This will make it look level from the rear.








And here is a new 981.

Funny, I have been thinking of removing mine from my 991. Different strokes I guess.

It looks kinda empty without it from my opinion.
