Penastar badge

[Eric Pearson]

Ok all you masterful mopar maniacs !!!. I installed a year one reproduction right fender pentastar emblem and I noticed that after looking at it it appears to be crooked. Is this normal or not. The fender is an original one. Any thoughts or pictures would be thanks as always

Looks crooked to me. None of my cars are like that. Were both holes in your original fender in line vertically? If so that reproduction pentastar is off.

I don’t recall bu I will look

It not only looks crooked but it also looks to be in the wrong place. What car?

To me it looks to low and to far forward.

Maybe a factory defect

I googled some images and it seems to be in the correct position. Just crooked.

I have run across the exact same thing. The small post on some of the reproduction stars are slightly off, causing them to sit cockeyed.

Thanks. I had my original one bu can’t seem to find it

Pentastar location
The "Search" feature is a handy thing on here...

....but think of the foresight they'll have.

That is definitely out of whack - shouldn't be crooked at all. Must be a design flaw with the location spike for sure.
