Default Rebadging a debadged S2K

I just picked up my 2001 AP1 S2K a couple weeks ago and it's been an absolute blast. One of the previous owners decided to debadge the car. I very much dislike the debadged look so I purchased some OEM badges to install.

The rear trunk lid badge holes have been welded shut. I can't realistically drill them out perfectly from the interior. On the exterior, it has been filled and painted well enough that I can't find where the factory holes were. I need the exact measurements relative to the top or bottom of the trunk and center line so I can mark where the holes will go. I don't plan on drilling the holes out (unless I'm convinced otherwise). Instead, I will remove the clips and pins from the badge and use some double sided adhesive. This isn't an issue on the front because the bondo isn't perfect and I can see where the holes were.

If anyone is willing to take some mm precision measurements for the AP1 rear trunk lid badge mounting holes from the exterior, I will greatly appreciate it. I can't find anything online since normally you wouldn't need measurements for the front/rear badges.
