Auto body repair & detailing/Replacing decals

Question
Dan - I have a 2011 Subaru WRX STI which has four decals on the trunk lid, two
on each side, and the trunk  lid is to be repainted. What method can be used to
ensure that the shop replaces those decals in precisely the same position as
when they left the factory? Thank You.

Answer
Hello Richard

The best 'fool proof' way of being 100% sure the decals will be reinstalled with precision is to have the shop take a digital picture of the locations and also to measure them before the prep work begins . With this method, there is no guessing.

Thank you for the question.
Dan
