Default are all emblems' mount screws not semetrical?

Im repainting my 89 and I noticed the holes are not centered in the gas door and the hood. The pegs are ascue. Are all emblems like this for each year? I want to put 87 emblems on it cause they have more red but if that means drilling new holes I might have to pass...

?? You sure you don't have a 91+ gas door ? I thought 84-90 had the same gas door emblem ??

Agent is right - the 84 to 90 emblems are the same.

So the answer to the OP's question is yes, all 84 - 90 emblems mount the same way.

Funny, I got an add from Ecklers in my email this morning and was looking at emblems. I added them to my wish list then checked the price at another web site...wink, wink.

well then, that seems good. Yea ecklers is waaaaaay over priced. I got a pair for my 87 about 3 years ago for 60 bucks for both. They looked the same as any other.

Thanks for the answer, that clears alot up, now im kind of embarrased to have the wrong emblems on the thing.

Actually, I only posted the Ecklers link for illustration purposes.

I also found my old emblems, and yes, even for 91 - 96, the mounting studs aren't centered. I'm sure it was designed to prevent improper mounting (would hate for a bunch of cars to go out the door with the emblems mounted upside down!).
