This is where mine is in my 40th.
I believe that to be the original, correct spot.

For the avatar picture, go into your user cp, and change avatar option. Click on upload and then you can select a picture from your computer, ipad or phone, whatever you are using to access the forum.
If you have a bigger picture and want to trim it, do that in advance.

On my ruby red lettering, i applied them by hand, good brushes and touch up paint. It has held very well, and keeps the color. I like it better this way than stick ons that might get blown off.

Interesting, my 93 (not a Ruby) has the Mobile 1 sticker in that location, I never noticed the anniversary edition was different.

Was a non-critical running change based on supply on hand. Those stickers weren't on all the cars. Some had Mobil one... others had the Bowling Green. When I bought my car - didn't have one at all... fixed that.

^^^ Not entirely correct. Depending on build date, most early build 93 and mostly all 92's did have the bowling green plaque in the hood, and the Mobil 1 was inscripted in the oil cap. Later build 93's and on had the Mobil 1 plaque.

Yours is most likely a late 93 build date. Mine is a Nov 92 Build date.
