Unfortunately, I've had to re-apply my badge twice since then: the lower part of the "H" keeps getting loose given the trunk's body curvature right at that location! I assume flopshot & faldoc haven't had to deal with this issue (read: their "HSD" and "VVT-i" emblems) since the "curvature" only starts at a certain distance from the "sides".
Has your "Hybrid" badge stayed on without a hitch? No issues with the "H" slowly wanting to peel itself off a few hours/days later?

I finally got around to moving my badge last week. Although it's only been on for a week, it doesn't look like it is coming off, yet.
It looks like our badges are installed at the same position. The extreme right edge is 1/2 inch from the edge of the trunk and the bottom of the "Y" is 1 inch above the left side of the the tail light area (before it bends down). I slanted the badge down to match the angle of the "CAMRY" badge.
The adhesive used was 1/4 inch wide gray 3-M badge tape. (Forgot the thichness.) I wanted to find a gel-type (like Fix-a-dent dental adhesive) for badges so the badge would fit tightly against car body. After just looking at the emblem, I see where that would have created the problem you're talking about.
On closer inspection, it looks like the badge MAY start pulling away in a few weeks. Only time will tell. If desired, I could post pix of installation and extreme close-up of the "H" area.
