when i put my hood on, it had the holes for the ornament, i think i might have put one on if i had one, but i didn't so i welded them up, if you have a chrome grill and or even a stainless steel hood strip i don't think it take away that much. its a neat rare option, and to get an idea on the color and look take the rusty hood and paint it the color the truck will be and put oranament on see what it looks like because you have to clean the hood up anyway
