Default Rear Emblem Alignment Template?

Hello Folks,

New here, first time posting. I am currently fully restoring a 2006 GS300, engine, paint, leather, the works. I am almost at the paint portion. Awaiting fuel injectors + plugs, spark plugs, etc, and since painting is the next phase I will be stripping the rear emblems. Now I am wanting to know if there exist somewhere some sort of template I can download, or if someone has pin point measurements so I can place new emblems at its exact locations after the re-spray.

Also, is there anywhere to find gunmetal emblems or do I spray them myself?

Thanks!

Paul

When I replaced the GS460 emblem on the trunk, there were two pins on the emblem that lined up with holes in the sheet metal. If you look at the replacement emblems and see guide pins, you're good. Make sure you take good pictures and take measurements for the other emblems in case there are no alignment holes.

Awesome, Finishing up engine work, then it's off to the paint shop. Thanks for the info!.
