If you don't want to drill holes in the body the emblems/scripts can be installed using 3M double stick tape. Somewhere on this site the measurements for the locations of the emblems/scripts can be found with some searching. I don't know where they are listed exactly or I would link them for you.

If you want them installed with the pins I would locate a body shop near you and they should be able to help with the installation.

Or, if you're adventurous, you can give it a go yourself.

I have found that I had to drill a counter bore in the holes from the inside.  The fiber glass was so thick that the pins were barely sticking through on the inside and I couldn't get the tinnerman nuts on far enough to stay on.   I drilled the holes and then used a machinist's counter bore bit with a pilot pin the same size as the hole.  You can make the holes large enough to allow the pins to go into the holes after bending the script to the contour needed.  The tricky part is not drilling the counterbores too deep or clear through.  I used a drill-stop bushing to limit the depth. These are available from wood working stores like Rockler.  All they are is steel bushing with a set screw in them.  The counterbore reamers with adjustable pilots are available from Grizzly.  They come as a set and are not expensive.

If you have a lathe, or a friend with one, you can make a custom counterbore reamer fairly easy out of drill rod that includes the pilot, cutter and depth limit flange. Once you have the profile,  then using a thin cut-off disc in a hand grinder, cut the flutes in for the cutting edges. These don't have to be perfect because it's only fiber glass that is being cut.  Once that's done,  heat it up with a torch to cheery red and dip in water.......Bruce

PS. I trimmed  the tinnerman nuts to make them a little shorter so they would fit in the counterbores.
