You'll note in that last set of pictures that the tail light housings are not installed. That's my big step backwards. I installed them and then checked the fit of the center tri-shield emblem and found it does not fit. It's as if the rechroming of the tail light housings and the emblem have created interference in the fit of the emblem to the housings. I've tried adjusting the locations of the housings within the range that is possible, but in the end, it appears that some chrome will have to be removed from small, select areas of the housings to make the emblem fit. I took them off the car and am researching possible ways to precisely remove chrome. Not sure my nerves are up to it. I'll keep you posted on what I come up with. If you guys have any experience or ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Cheers!
