Debadging is a better way to go rather than adding on.
I vote NO for the hood ornament.

I personally like and have always liked hood ornaments, its a design feature I'm sad to see gone. But...IMHO the car needs to be designed for one. When people stick hood ornaments on cars that didn't originally have them, it just looks stupid. Even MB models with the sport grills, the hood ornaments look great on the car with the shield grill, but stupid on the car with the sport grill.

I also think logos have to be symmetrical to look good as a hood ornament, they need to look the same from the front and the back. The Lexus logo doesn't lend itself to this.

Looks stupid IMHO:

Now, if it was made by Apple with free wi-fi and free streaming music for life, I would say nice.

Just kidding!
