You didn't ask, but the Yenko Stripe was not too precise, either, for the same reason. But normally, the side stripe was placed just below the key escutcheon on the door. The front of the stripe stopped anywhere from 1" to 7"-8" behind the rear of the sidelight. And the point where the stripe starts to widen to accommodate the lettering anywhere from about 1" to 10" behind the door opening. Stripe ends generally wrapped into the openings, and around the doors. The quarter panel applique was split somewhere forward of the lettering, and overlapped about 1/2" or so, which is why there is such a variation in placement.
The sYc arrow on the hood was placed anywhere from just behind the front of the hood to 1" in front of the hood. The gap between the arrow and the hood stripe was usually between 1/2" and 1".

If you are placing stripes and badges on a real Yenko, look for signs of where they were originally placed. If you are building a Tribute, which is what I did, tape them up and move them around to the position you prefer. I looked at lots of pictures, and made actual measurements at a couple Supercar Reunions, to come up with the normative practice.
