Unfortunately no. I had to gently bend the aluminum to get it to sit flush with the curvature of the front fascia. Wasn't hard to do, just a lot of trial and error until I was satisfied that it was sitting flush across the whole emblem.

I like them. Are they only available in silver? I think black chrome would be awesome.
