Giant in a Shoebox Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 So I have a hole in my hood that's going to need something super awesome bolted through it. I'm leaning toward something like a bowling trophy topper, or maybe something like this: Of course I'd get someone cooler than Barbie to ride the gator, but I'm open to other suggestions. Anyone got any sweet hood ornaments to share? No bull horns, please. I'm not a Texan. ------- The image went away for some reason. Trust me, it was sweet.

Gary_M Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just did a google image search for "toyota hood oranement", came up on page 3.The oranement must be buried in the website, I can't find it. Yes that snail fits the theme of our toys nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Seems appropriate Now that's special! Cowboy on a turtle would be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90toydolphin Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 i'm looking for one that reduces the wind resistance going down the road and guaranteed to increase the gas mileage. maybe a tow hook and chain to attach to the truck in front of you?

Giant in a Shoebox Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 I found the details for the Indian riding the snail. It's from a 1911 Fiat. Sadly, eBay didn't have one for me. While looking around, I kept an eye open for Stamar's dolphin. No luck, but I did find a trout and a marlin that sort of looked like a dolphin.

stamar Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've already branded my rv a dolphin allover so id need a dolphin hood thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bufbooth Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes...I am not alone! My Toyota has a metal plug in the hood filling the hole that the last owner had a hood ornament. I have been searching on and off for the last year or two. I would like something that spins or a Compass. I did find a plastic ornament that was pretty cool, but it was plastic, it had the new Toyota symbol that had LED lights in it and a small fan blade that would spin and power the lights, it was about $10 but looked really fragile.

Eve "n" Stephen Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Our son used to have a very large collection of original Star Wars toys, seems like the perfect hood ornament would be a toy Yoda. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
