Thanks to @Rickperry we can make our Broncos look they way they should. I photographed the process:

Looks good and nice job getting them straight. Was the laser necessary? I was thinking the bottom of the script should be parallel with the crease in the fender. They look crooked on the website.

Looks good! Hopefully you didn't count on the sticker top being level. Did you level it with the ground or with a body line? Obviously they are going to be different, depends how it eyeballs I suppose.

Edit; with the ground it appears, slight droop on the right, Bronco sits nose high?

I think the droop comes from the ultra wide camera lens setting. I triple checked with the laser and a bubble level, both show right on.

I leveled using the 2 o's in lowercase script. was the only thing I could reference to be the same height horizontally.

@Rickperry, maybe you can make a template to provide future orders, leveling and keeping the same height off the belt line was the hardest part of the install.

Nice inspiration on how to get it precise. Planning this myself - I was feeling like it needed to be about 3/4-1” higher than the original trim badge to match OG Bronco position. If you notice it’s about 2/3 the height of the B below the body line. This is nitpicking AF. Glossy looks great on FE.

This is what I was going for, I do think the wide angle lens setting is affecting the picture

Agree, it was tricky to align to the B since its round at the top and the rest of the logo flexes so its not entirely ridgid. But thats not a complaint, as it has to mold to the shape of the fender.

Good call. I haven’t even done a dry test. They just showed up today. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Looks fantastic! I finally got my bronco and was finally able to start a template. It will be available very soon!

Website pictures was a rush job because I only had 15 min with it at the dealer 😭.
I installed it today with the template and some of the crookedness can be attributed to the forward rake of the vehicle.
