All done! Your vehicle is now suaver by at least one order of magnitude. I've had my silver-flaming-angel on the car for a year now, and it's still in good shape.

It might work just as well to simply bolt the trophy figure directly to the hood, removing the hood fitting entirely. The silicone adhesive could be used to form a similar gasket, protecting the car's paint from being scratched. On my car, though, the angle of that section of the hood would make the figure tilt more forward than I wanted, so I used the hood fitting as a base and just adapted the same attachment system as the original ornament.
