Where to place Turbo emblem?

Goldengreg · 10-03-2009, 04:20 PM

Long story short, the PO repainted my 951 and the emblem was detroyed in the proccess.
I bought a new OE emblem, but would like it to be in the exact spot of original.
Can anyone do me a favor and measure the inches from the right of the "o" to the edge of the hatch? and also inches from the bottom?
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks.

I can't 100% guarantee mine is stock, but I believe it is.

The measurement is from the bottom edge of the spoiler to the very top of the "T" in Turbo, and from the farthest edge of the "o" to the middle of the seam.

Mike, thanks, that is a big help. those dang mm are a more precise measurement, aren't they

Yeah, I always have a problem figuring out if it's 1 3/8" or 1 3/16" or whatever (you gotta count the ticks on the ruler then divide or whatever), mm are a lot easier and more precise.

Hey I need to give the ricers something so they can rev me at stoplights, lol

lol - i used to do quit a bit of money racing, and having stuff on the outside that said anything about what was under the hood didn't help the stakes, but i've always been a fan of clean uninterrupted lines, and never been one who felt i needed an emblem on the car to tell people what it was - if they liked the car, they either already knew, or they would ask - either way, it resulted in more conversations, and making more friends than if it had the markings on it

makes waxing a lot easier too, and i'm getting lazy in my old age
