@Spacewalkker I would make a template from another GLE. To do this you need another GLE and template-making materials. eg tracing paper, tape or plastic film.

You could ask a body shop/collision center for advice. You could search on this site for a site member near you. I can’t see your profile on the mobile device. Where approximately are you located?

well i've been to several body shops and they said they just use pictures from the internet and roughly estimate where the badge is lol, i guess i will have to make my own template, thanks for the advice though.
