just wanted to try this hood ornament on for size, see what everybody thinks...

 

I like it. Gives it a classy look, and goes well with your chevrolet scrip on the side of the hood.

 

Definitely not my thing but if your happy that's all that matters.

 

It kind of matches your avatar BTW.

 

If you like it, then great. It's not for me though.

 

OK, seeing as how your asking what we think....
Me thinks it's a bit too far back. However, placement if forward would seem too far down on the hood to look 'right'. I would opt for one like Flamin'HHR
has that has more of a line behind it. Seems to 'go with the flow' lines of the car.
I would have to be absolutely sure of placement before drilling a hole in that purdy hood!
I do like the idea of a 'Tinker Bell' adornment on your HHR though!

 

Gotta be good for at least 2 more mpg with those wings!

 

Here's the TINKERBELL on the side windows..

 

That was the closest i could get a 'flat' surface for the base, I did like Flamin'HHR's but ... i wanted something with wings (redbull gives you wings , lol) this is a cheap plastic replica, (glue on) untill I decide i really like it

 

I like the idea, and the ornament isn't bad looking...............retro style and it makes you happy. Problem lies in the fact that the hood just doesn't lend itself to a short based ornament. I have to go with the longer rocket style.
