The original emblems on my car were removed for PPF. When the dealership installed new emblems back on, I feel the position of the emblems don’t look 1:1 with factory.
I tried looking online, but it’s very difficult to determine which cars are factory and which ones have been debadged before.
Can anyone please share pictures of exact positioning? Ideally from factory?
Here are the current emblems on my car. The AMG looks too far to the left and possibly too high up. The GTR seems a bit too far to the right. Not sure about the V8 BiTurbos on the sides
But my concern is precise locations. Was hoping someone who still has the original badges from factory on car could help by sharing some pictures next to a ruler

Look online for rear badge sets that come with a template. A layover so you can peel off the badges and insert. I say this since I own a 2018 Macan Turbo. They’re out there for Porsche. GL
Yes, from factory. These are pictures before they loaded it on transport to ship it to my house. I can take measurements if you want but I had PPF put on since then and know they took the badges off during the installation.

How close does the post PPF positioning for your badges look compared to the original from factory ones? Do you know if they used a template from XPEL or something to install?
I can't tell the difference from the originals, other than the bars to the left of the AMG are not aligned as perfectly. I don't know if they used a template but the PPF was not precut. They're a high end installer in the area so I'd be surprised if they don't use / make templates.
Any chance you could put a ruler up to your current badges and share some pictures for reference?
I would. However I mounted mine by the ever so slightly raised surface from the original badges. I can’t guarantee they’re mounted correctly. Sorry So I would ask others reading this Aaron needs some help…
Not exactly scientific but hope this is good enough...
Thank you!! This helps a lot. Positioning looks much closer to factory than what’s on my car currently.
I’ll share with dealership and ask them to verify against the Xpel templates that they have.
Compared to the first set of photos you shared from factory, it seems like the AMG badge from factory is more centered. So maybe 1” or 1 1/8” from the top
