Default RE emblems

Remember...all aftermarket emblems may not have the same peg spacing. Buy the emblems, stick some tape on the mount area and press the emblem pegs into the tape. It will leave a mark for the drill holes. Drill holes and pull tape. No at least the new pegs will line up perfectly.

Default Another option

Here's what I've done in the past

1--> Start with a thin piece of cardboard larger than your emblem
2--> Push emblem posts through cardboard and slide cardboard so that the back of emblem rests on the cardboard
3--> Take a pen, sharpie or a pencil and trace around the emblem on the cardboard
4--> Remove emblem from cardboard and cut out the shape on the cardboard with a pair of scissors. Now you have a template (with holes).
5--> Place template in the desired location and mark your holes for drilling
