Exterior Name Plates
Exterior Name Plates
Hi,
Anyone got a good way of lining up the exterior name plates on the deck lid?
Take a photograph and somehow use a projector to mark out the ref points?
This is what the manual says:
EXTERIOR NAME PLATES
REMOVAL
REMOVAL - WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE
CAUTION: Use care when removing any component that is attached to the vehicles painted surface. Take
the necessary precautions to avoid paint damage while servicing the vehicle.
1. Mark the reference points before removing the name plate.
2. Using a heat gun, gently apply heat in a circular motion to loosen the adhesive bond.
3. Using a nonmetallic prying device, such as a plastic or wood trim stick, gently pry up at the corners and remove.
4. Clean off all traces of adhesive or double sided tape from the panel with a general purpose adhesive remover.
REMOVAL - WITH ADHESIVES
CAUTION: Use care when removing any component that is attached to the vehicles painted surface. Take
the necessary precautions to avoid paint damage while servicing the vehicle.
1. Mark the reference points before removing.
2. Using a heat gun, gently apply heat in a circular motion to loosen the adhesive bond.
3. With a fingernail, lift up and peel away badging/tape from the panel, using a heat gun as you go.
4. Clean off all traces of adhesive from the panel(s) with a general purpose adhesive remover.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION - WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE
1. Prep the painted surface for the application of the new adhesive.
Note: Use a commercially available and approved Wax and Grease remover to prep the painted surface.
2. Align the badging to the previously marked reference points.
3. Install and press securely to assure full adhesive contact.
4. Clean away any marked reference points from the panel.
INSTALLATION - WITH ADHESIVES
1. Prep the painted surface for the application of the new adhesive.
2. Clean the panel surface with isopropyl alcohol.
3. Remove the paper carrier and align the badging/tape to the reference points or an adjacent panel.
4. Install and press securely, using a plastic spreader to eliminate all air bubbles.
5. Remove the top protective carrier.
6. Clean away any marked reference points.

I did this layout when I was considering taking the letters off.
If this is what you want then modify it to suit the SRT and add the correct SRT sizes to the layout and repost for future use.
