Other than the big plastic blockage in the middle of the first one, and the the vertical peices are chromed on the second one, not much. I don't see any improvment over the OEM, but that's just me. The other ones look like they should be on a 1970's Pontiac...

So which one do you like better? Only thing I dont like about my oem is that it was the year that they came very very dull looking. Where as the newer ones are bright chrome. Does not look bad in pics but I want to brighten it up a little. and $13 plus shipping is not bad

Is that a hood ornament? As far as the grilles, I would probably go with #2.

It gives me indigestion also. But if I were in the Middle East, I bet it would be cool.

LOL!

I like the ornament and the shape. But in the US it doesnt translate to any kind of brand. I suppose it looks like a volcano erupting. Is Mt Fuji volcanic?

The hood ornament looks kind of like a mutated Daewoo hood ornament.

Give it eyes, a nose and mouth and you have an evil crustation from Sponge Bob or something.

Just a little too generic for me.
