Default Size of "L" Emblem on RMM Front Grill???

Well, my paint has started to peel (what I get for ordering grill already painted) so I am going to get it resprayed. Not sure I want to try to reuse the emblem so any idea what size or where to get that matches the RMM grill? I searched and all I found was that the RMM "L" was smaller than the trunk, but could not find any specifics. I also need a flat back as the RMM does not use mounting holes for the pegs to fit in. Thanks!!!!

why wouldn't you reuse it? Just make sure it's properly covered before it goes in for paint. Try rubbing vaseline on it, no not your man parts, but the emblem, then cover it with whatever you want when it gets painted. That way even if paint does get on it, the vaseline will protect it.

That **** was funny.

Reason I hated to reuse it is because I did not want to pull it off and try to glue it back since the two sided tape would be trashed. Never thought about leaving it on while respraying so that is definitely an option.
