I have discovered the reproduction Thunderbird script fender badges which I purchased are not exactly like what came off during restoration. The reproduction looks great and is the correct size. However it has one extra post that goes through the fender, a total of 5 rather than the 4 that came off. What came off has a stamped number on the back: BAN16098t, and has only 4 posts. The 4 posts on the original line up with 4 of the 5 posts on the reproduction. Both sides. Is there a reason why there is a 5th post on the reproduction? And any reason I can't remove the 5th post to match the original? I could avoid having to drill a hole in my recently repainted car.
