What's the go with hood ornaments on utes? We bought our EK new and it didn't have a hood ornament, but I see some utes do. Were they added later or did some dealers add them before delivery?
I don't want one, as I like the clean lines of my EK, but I just wondered why some have them and some don't.

The one on my ute was fitted after it was sold , it was bought by the original owners daughter for him as a Christmas present the first year he owned it ,he also added the wydascope mirror so all the bits on my ute were fitted in the first year of it's life.

They were a Nasco option for all FB & EK. Opt for it from new or not I guess...........if you've got the bucks.

It came with the Coolaride visor. I guess that was just part of the dress-up for the end of year sale.

It's quite funny how they chose the bits and bobs - mine came with the hood ornament but no roof mount rear view mirror - only an external mirror on drivers side - I guess he only wanted to go fast and wasn't worried about what was coming behind him :laughinggg:
