I need some pictures of "proper" placement of emblems

My Black SA22 is close to being done. Does anyone have pictures showing the correct location of all of the emblems on the car?

Like the emblems on the front fenders, Mazda on the front between headlights, Mazda in the rear, Rotary engine, etc.

I bought all new emblems from VB and want to make sure they get put on correctly.

I looked over on the Non-technical 1st gen page. Did not really see what I needed. I need some really good closeups if anyone has them. I need a good visual reference!

All my emblems are mounted on the original pins:

If you need it, I can take some shots with actual measurements tonight when I get home, but here's a few for rough reference:

Closest I ever got to having my wife truly understand the thing about guys and cars, was when I told her, "You know how you and your friends feel about clothes? It's kinda like that, but you can only have one or two outfits at a time."

Saw the light bulb go on.
