If you are replacing an emblem, I would clay the area as it removes all bonded gunk + wax, stick on emblem, wax remaining exposed areas that were clayed.

I always wondering about ppl placing emblems, Ive seen some placed really high up, totally funny looking to me, i guess you could use blue painters tape and use that to line up ur emblems, use it kinda like a ruler
thats what I did for my shadow emblems.

just mark off the top line and left side of each number as you remove each one.

ended up with something like this

___________
.|3 .3 .0 .x .i

___________
.| .|3 .0 .x .i


___________
.| .| .|0 .x .i


___________
.| .| .| .|x .i


___________
.| .| .| .| |i

___________
.| .| .| .| .|



then as I put them on, I just had to use the top left corner and they all were back in the same spot like this.

___________
|3 |3 |0 |x |i



then remove tape and your done.
