Hi

You can buy the badge from the dealer and tell them to put it on for you. They should do it for free.

There are many badges on the web BUT I found them to be of a lesser quality. For the diff in prices on these - it is not worth it to me to get an aftermarket item. You will be looking at it everyday and will notice the diff - then it will be a waste of money.

It is your choice.

Welcome to the forum, Calvin. Please entitle your posts so they have something to do with the subject. "Need Help!!!" is not a good title for a minor question about badge location.

To answer your question, simply measure the location on an existing car.
