Default Side emblem install

Hello,
I have removed my side badges, but now I think I may get the complete black chrome kit with new side emblems. Does anybody have instructions on the exact placement of the S2000 badge? I know it would be a lot easier if I was just swtiching them, and I could just use tape to mark where the old ones were.
Thanks.

could not find guidance in the service manual, but i understand that there might be separate body manual which i dont have...
the only way that i know how to do this (the way that i did it) is to mask the badges on the car, then remove them and install inside the masked area.
you are probably stuck with meeting with a nearby owner and measuring his placement-
another thought- who cares where you place it!! just make sure that where ever you place it on one side, the other side is in the same place.

Is that something that any body shop would have access to? I have a friend with a body shop, I could try him. Of course a scan would be great as well if anybody has one.
Thanks for the help.

Bass,
I will have to look into that. At least I know now that I have some options. Worst case scenario, I could just buy a Helms CD. Are these the same ones on ebay for around $30, or is it the one that is around $100.
Thanks.
