Unless you modify the hood, it is impossible to install the Star hood ornament.

For X166, see the pic in this thread showing the 2 openings to receive the default emblem.

However, a standard Star hood ornament has a 'large' mechanism that allows the Star to be movable. And this mechanism simply cannot fit onto the 2 openings.
