need hood side emblem help
What is the correct distances for the side emblem on the hood:
- Bottom of hood to bottom of emblem - Door side of hood to door side of emblem. My hood has no holes and the emblems don't have the alignment pins decided to not do the splash ZR-1 stickers on the hood. I have something else

Indeed! As do the 1991 models, but GM corrected that mistake on the 92's and up.... I've had several people say nice Vette, but then they notice the ZR-1 side badges on the hood, and it turns into oh wow!! I think they add a beautiful touch to ours Z's |

Re: need hood side emblem help
Ami's is
5-1/4" from the edge of the of the clamshell to the rear most edge of the badge, and - 1-1/4" up from the bottom edge of the clamshell to the bottom edge of the ZR-1 portion of the badge. This places the center of the badge over the center line, perpendicular to the gills in the gill panel below. Looks VERY nice (the badges). Her's is a 91, and I assumed they were factory installed. Perhaps not, from what I'm hearing. But, they look like they SHOULD have been there if they weren't! I've been considering putting them on my 90 BECAUSE I believe we should make the point that we exist. If I could find some red ones somewhere, I'd be hard pressed not to install them - even tho I'm basically a purist - at least where it shows!

Re: need hood side emblem help
I have the specs,just need to find them. At the very least I'll measure mine on the car. I do remember 5-1/2 and 2-1/4 but it's been awhile.

Re: need hood side emblem help
You ever get the measurements you were looking for? I've got from the back edge of the hood to the edge of the emblem is 5-1/2 and bottom edge of hood is 2-1/4 to bottom bottom edge of emblem.
