When restoring a vehicle that originally had a hood ornament, adding the hood ornament will increase its value. However, if no hood ornament was originally on the vehicle, then adding one typically will not increase the car's value.
Hood ornaments can lower the resell value of the vehicle and can damage the paint job on the hood if they are not attached correctly. If you are confident that you will not be selling your car in the future, however, hood ornaments can give your ride a fun and creative flare that highlights your personality.
Some great places to buy hood ornaments are from your car's company's website. They sell the most preferred models. Otherwise, online stores such as Amazon and EBay have hood ornaments as well.
Auto-Zone and Pep Boys and other well-known car dealers have hood ornaments that you can purchase that can hide exposed radiator caps. You can also buy these ornaments online.
If your vehicle came standard with a hood ornament and it fell off or broke, take it into your dealership to have it repaired. If you are looking for a hood ornament for a car without one, try www.amazon.com. Websites such as Craigslist or EBay also may include hood ornaments.
