Hood Ornament

Post by **TBrack** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 11:42 am

Where can I find a hood ornament like on the Cima for my G50? I've looked everywhere to no avail.

If you mean something like this ...zer...57678

You'll have to try the yahoo.jp auctions and get an importer. To my knowledge, nothing ever existed in the US.

The G50 was never a Cima, so IMO, it's out of place, unless you get a President ornament.

I liked both the Cima and the president ornaments but I thought the cima would look the best... idk

Indeed. If youre going to jumble up ornaments like that you might as well throw a tri-star or leaping cat on there.

That's exactly what I had in mine (Jaguar). I wonder if I can glue that or drill a hole or two and use of the screws. I am also thinking of the old ones from the 60's 70's Amerian cars.

Maybe ricish, but I thought about the "45" part from the Q would look cool on the front fender with a little . in between to denote the engine within

Totally unecessary for the cognoscenti, and totally lost on the hoi polloi.

Having a president front or rear treatment is illegal because those lights were never tested to meet DOT requirements. You could make a light conversion kit using replacement head lights from some us model, but the tails would be hard to copy. I am not trying to be a smarty pants, but all you need to ship is sheet metal because the chp will make you toss everything else.

im known to be drunk, but I thought the post was referring to a hood ornament. not a total pres. conversion

Yep, I've always wanted a top-side tow hook.

How distinguished!

Really guys, lay off the top ramen for a couple of weeks. The MSG is frying your brains.

hahahahahahaha

seriously though... can I not get a president hood ornament in america? I still think it would look good even without president body parts for now.

Looks like the top of Jeannie's head (I dream of Jeannie). Not hating though, she was the finest beyotch on TV back when I was a kid....I was having dreams alright. (Splash) Lemme stop showing my age

I have the President hood ornament. If you want it, you could buy from me.However, be warned that you need to do some body work to have it installed on your Q.You need to drill three holes on the hood, then there is a metal bar attached under the hood, which means not enough clearance to put the bolt on. The shop suggested me they have to cut out the portion of the hood where the ornament would be installed and remove the metal bar, then weld it back. and repaint the hood.... total cost would be around $500 and you get a fancy hood ornament and new paint job for your Q.

Funny you would mention that. I saw a Dk Gray or Black 94-96 with a "leaper" hood ornament on it when I was in St Louis in early November of last year. BTW Jesda, do you go to Harrah's at all?

I dont gamble much since moving to Missouri. I liked the Indian casinos back in Washington a little more. Less hectic and more inviting (and most importantly, located on my way back from school).

Got it for $120 from the seller in Japan. I'm thinking about between $70~75, what do you think?
