    Default Measurements for badge placement 84 lx trunk

    My car is missing the Mustang and lx badges on the trunk lid. I have new ones coming but am wondering about the exact placement. Where do I find measurements for such things?

    Thanks.

    I don't have the exact measurements for you, but I do remember this. If you still have the Ford emblem on the other side, they are the same space from the side of the lid and the letters are the same height as the bottom of the oval. While this pic is not the best, here is how they sat on my untouched 84 vert. Maybe you can get really close with this reference photo.

    I do have the ford, but it was stuck on after paint, not sure if it's perfect. Thanks for the pic though, that will help.

    Okay not sure if this will make sense but here goes.

    The distance that the ford oval is from the right side, is how far away the "mustang" needs to be from the left side. And the LX or GT or whatever badge is that same distance away from the "Mustang"

    As long as they didn't break the locating pins when they removed it chances are your oval is in the correct place. That emblem had 3 locating dowels.

    I think I got them pretty close.
