LX emblem or not?

[MOstang]

Hello - My 1989 Minnesota State Patrol SSP does not have the LX emblem on the driver side of the trunk lid. All the other SSP's I've owned and own (3) do have that emblem. None of the in-service pics I've ever seen of the Minnesota ones show the back end of the Mustang so no real reference there.

My questions is as follows...would it be appropriate for my SSP to have that emblem on the trunk lid? If the answer is yes, anyone have an original SSP with the LX emblem who could share the correct dimensions on location or could share a photo for reference? The emblems have been off my 93 Missouri SSP when the paint was redone so would rather go by one that hasn't had emblems off before.

Thanks for your help!

Since the correct badge isn't there, you should install one of these babies on your SSP!

Mike the only agency that I know of that deleted the LX emblem was CHP. That is well documented. The LX emblem sits one inch from the edge of the deck lid. I will have to meausre to give you the height from the bottom lip. Will try to get to it tonight after I get home.

Hi Jim - Any luck on pulling the measurment from bottom lip? Also is the 1 inch you mention from edge of deck lid...are you referring to 1 inch from the left and if so from the bottom? Just asking since the deck lid dimension on the left side is angular. Thanks for your help.

Just a bump on this one to see if anyone can help with measurements on placement of the LX trunk emblem? Thank you.

I measured several parts cars I have & mine are 1 inch from the left edge as Jim said & 3/4 inch from the bottom edge. Doug
