Rear Emblem - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

stang0303 · 12-24-2015, 09:55 AM

My car was restored and I ordered a new rear emblem. My question is how do I line it up on the trunk lid the way it was originally placed on there from the factory. I only have one shot and don't want to mess up the placement of it. Thanks

If it would help I would be happy to take some measurements off my car for you.

I'll do this on Friday afternoon it that's ok for you

Yeah ASH I know if I tried to guess I would definitely screw it up!

I was able to get these measurements today, I figure a picture is worth 1000 words, hope this helps.

Maybe the easiest way to get it straight would be to put a line of masking tape at the bottom under where the emblem goes. And you could do a line of tape to the right side as well to get it all lined up in place.

I also see that I have some wax to clean out of my emblem now, too funny

Happy New Year!

yes the best way would be to put tape going all the way across and use that as a line.

You did not realize how important that picture was going to be.

I helped someone out on this same thing back in 2012. Post #5. My measurements on my car are SLIGHTLY different than the ones on this thread though. Mine sits a tiny bit higher and I measured mine from the bottom of "M" to the edge of the trunk lid.

ASH302 · 01-15-2016, 11:45 AM

HHHhhhhmmmmm well then
I don't know what to say, I'm thinking both will get the person very close
I wonder then what the for sure measurements are?

ASh

Oxford Mach · 01-17-2016, 09:37 PM

I guess it's like the old saying, "sometimes close enough is close enough" haha

Makes you wonder, you could probably measure 10 cars & get 10 different answers.

I guess what's 1/16" between friends

Like your saying, works for me, if its close enough, it works

gvervoren · 01-27-2016, 05:57 PM

Nobody would probably even notice 1/16" difference even if the cars were side by side.
