3.8 Hood Emblem Placement

[ksmmspt]

Hi,
I've got the car in the body shop getting a new paint job. Does anyone know the exact placement/measurements for the 3.8 SFI hood emblems? I want to make sure they line up in accordance to stock position. Maybe someone with stock paint and emblems could measure the distance from the back side of the hood bulge? Thanks

The only pictures I found were of the trunk and side emblems, not the hood. Are you referring to an area of gnttype that I missed? Thanks

I'm not at home and did not measure this myself but instead
copied this from a gnttype search.

If you lay a ruler across the top of the emblem, I've got exactly 8 inches
from the rear of the "O" on Turbo (driver's side of course) to the rear edge
of the hood.

I went out and measured a stock car...(unless someone has repainted it with
the same checked paint, lol) and the drivers side, from the rear hood lip
was 7 7/8 inches to the back of the "O". The passenger side was 8 1/8
inches to the "3". So if ya split the difference, around 8" should be OK.
