Default S2000 Badging Placement on Front Fenders

I picked up my car from the body shop, and the emblems on the front fender don't match the opposite side fender.

The "S" and the "2000" are separate badges... Is there anything out there that specs out where these emblems are designed to be placed on the fender?

Can someone who has not had any work done on their fenders tell me how the distance between the "S" and the "2000" (using some consistent way of measuring...like maybe using the top corners of the emblems as guidance)?

Also, how far are the emblems from the side-marker and the wheel well fender?

Thanks!

+1. My car is in shop now, went to check on it, also noticed inconsistentcy between sides. One side its parallel with body line, other side its more parallel with the ground.

Only solace is can't see them both at same time...

The bottom edge of the numbers and side light makes a straight line on both sides of my car. All parallel to the bottom edge of the light, which seems to be the only fixed reference useful judging this.

Letter/number spacing will require measuring something I'm unable to do at the moment (straight edge I got! ).

Here are the instructions.

Not sure if this will help since your emblem is in the wrong place to start with.

Thanks... Yes I saw this too...

It doesn't help if the emblems are taken off to do body work and paint, since the masking tape must be removed to paint the panel...

the new emblems come whit a foam alignment stencil. this is not my pic but you can see the alignment stencil around the emblem. basically you line them up with this, to each other, and the vehicle.

My car had no emblems on it. When I got mine from the dealership the foam pieces where they were cut S and 2000 did not match. I used this.
