Shouldn't have hurried putting it on.

It looks as if your FairladyZ is a tiny bit off. From the pics it seems it can be tilted just a tiny bit to the left. But then it's hard to tell because that part of the Z is curved. I had the same issue when I put mine on. I wouldn't worry about it though. It's really hard to tell unless you are looking for it.

Honestly I eyeballed it for like 30 mins and used a soft washable marker to mark tiny reference points before I was brave enough to stick it on.

I used the blue spacer and it think that it's slightly off.

I think the best idea would be to tape some dental floss across and back up a couple feet to see if you've got it straight on. That would give you a good reference as to where the bottom of the letters should be. Also that it's straight and not angled up or down.

Hope this makes sense.

On a different angle it doesn't look too bad. But i can't believe how frustrating emblems can be. lol!
