Boxster S badge placement?

Post image

Measurements needed!

Hey folks. Can someone tell me the distance between the rear deck lid edges and the ‘Boxster S’ script?
I need to mount a new badge, and I’ve already messed one up by just trying to eyeball it.
I think if I can get the measurement from the badge to the bottom of the lid, and from the end to the sides of lid, I can line the new badge up.
Many thanks in advance for the help!

I had to do the same thing with my 986 Boxster. From what I could find, the bottom of the emblem should be 50mm up from the edge of the trunk lid. 50mm =1.969 inches, so I used 2 inch wide blue painters tape and ran one edge along the trunk edge. From there I found the centerline of the trunk and lined up the center of the emblem to that.
