Sure. I think the silver wings with the crossfire emblem might be the component that has to be replaced.

Why not just superglue the mini Crossfire keychain to a popsicle stick and punch it through a hole in your hood?

Oh, you mean a 2 dimensional emblem? From your original post I think we were all under the impression that you wanted one of those Mack truck style little statues glued onto the hood of your car. That would have been hideous.

Why stop at just a hood ornament? How about replacing your rims with some spinner hub caps?

Ooo ... I got one that needs to be on the front ... (tries to contain himself).

The lady that's at the front of the old tall ships. Leaning forward, dress furled, breasts ... umm ... well ... 'nuff said.

(and which emote do I use so I don't get flamed?) (this one?)

Sorry... No Boobies and Wings allowed on the Woodward Dream Cruise.

I believe that there are midwest association rules and regulations that apply to this very thing. If not... I'm starting one at this very moment!
