Grasp one with a pliers and rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise (to 3 and 9 o'clock). Push the old ornament upwards through the hood. Twist the tabs on the new ornament to 3 and 9 o'clock, place through the hole in the hood and turn the tabs back to 6 and 12 o'clock.

To replace the hood ornament on a 2006 S430, first, open the hood and locate the retaining nut under the ornament. Use a socket wrench to carefully remove the nut. Once the old ornament is detached, position the new ornament in place and secure it with the retaining nut. Finally, close the hood and ensure the ornament is firmly in place.
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.
