Thanks a lot! a measurement from the back of the fender to the edge of the emblem and a measurement from the body line to the bottom of the emblem would be great!!! I appreciate and await your response!

Little later than I thought it would be, but here it is.

I used a rigid steel rule for the measurements. I measured from the large square part of the emblem DOWN to the fender crease, and then BACK to the fender edge.

Both measurements were basically 3". If you wanted to get superbly technical, the down dimension was about 2 31/32 to the tangent of the fender crease. In that position to the edge of the fender, when following the bottom edge of the emblem, was almost spot on 3". The pictures should clear it up for you.

edit: Not sure what happened, but the first should be rotated, as it is the downward measurement.
