i have often preemtively removed my hood ornaments and replaced them with a $2 stainless steel sink block off (for closing an extra hole in a ss sink). it looks like it grew there!

i have also even taken off the trunk tristar and installed a reflector. I once used a blue one and referred to my car as a blue light special.

I always chuckled to myself at my supurb humor.
