Anyone Installed a UK IX Spec Badge
Hey guys,
Yesterday was a good day in Jersey, so made use of it and de-badged my car. I would suggest if any of you Evo IX owners want to de-badge your car, do it when it is new, the badge came off real easy just with dental floss. I have a UK IX spec badge ready to be installed. Just wanted to know if anyone has installed one before and whether I should stick to installation instructions of an UK VIII badge, I am mainly concerned about the alignment rule, for VIII it is align the "T" with the center of the Mitsu symbol. Should I follow the same for the IX or is it different?
Thanks in advance.

A level will work fine, but only if your car is level. Rather than mess with that question, when I install mine, I will measure (again and again and again) from the bottom edge of the trunk lid upward, to figure out a true horizontal line relative to the car itself.
Also, I would not go by what that black Evo picture shows: As far as my ruler can tell with the distorted perspective, his badge is not centered on the decklid from side to side. There is more of the writing on the left side than the right. It would have been centered better, as far as I can tell, in the middle of the left arm of the crossbar of the T.
