Just the regular crossed flags? Or a fuel injection emblem?

The lowest part of the "V" in the crossed flags is 1.5" above the fender line, and 13.5" forward of the fender edge along the same line.

You are welcome. On my car, the emblem is effectively centered over the middle of the 3 fender vents (at least it looks that way to me). Then it's a simple matter of getting the height above the fender line worked out.
