Need GT2 emblem measurement

I removed the "GT2" emblem from the rear of my 02 GT2 and now after looking at the car without the badge I decided it needs the badge back on.

What I didn't do was to measure the distance from the lower edge of the lid to the bottom edge of the badge. If someone could throw a tape measure on the lid and let me know the measurement I would appreciate it!!

I hate seeing cars where the badges are not positioned properly.

Thanks guys!!

I found it in the repair manual, but of course if the logo was put on a friday afternoon just before quitting time or a monday morning after a night at the bar, it can be off a little bit....
