Default Re-applying Lettering

I need to put the LTZ lettering back on the side of truck. I had some work done to the fender and the letters had to be removed. The dealership usually just eyeballs them and I and trying to find an exact way of putting the letters back on.

Thanx

I would measure down from the roof line with a cloth tape and use a level to well to keep them level

Usually those letters and decals come with a template for orientation.

Does the template come with the lettering if it comes from GM oe does it come with aftermarket ones?

Only familiar w/ GM ones. And it was for decals on my IROC so don't know about trim letters but would think that they would have something to get them on correctly.
