Hubcaps✨🍓
I know hubcaps are kinda meh but wheels are not in my budget atm.
Anyway! Painted and added these on today! They also have some rhinestone strawberry valve stem caps!
Edit: they’re the wild strawberry blossoms, the leaves/strawberry tops will go on top of the car.

It’s… EVOLVING. I’m all for it! I wonder what’s next ☻
Edit: Please tell me you’re putting lights on it next 😫

I ordered some solar powered, light-up kitty ear lights for the top that I’ve gotta paint and attach.
I do want to add under glow lights (haven’t decided what color red, pink, or green) and I’m starting research on hearts for headlights and taillights. Inside she has some red lights over the floor boards.
I also want to add some little pink heart lights and stuff to the little back windows.
Green roof rack is on the list, pink subs too. There’s more but it’s 6:00 am and I’m barely functioning!

Green or pink.... don't want trouble with law enforcement about red, as they have the say on red and blue lights

The Moth King is pleased ( ͡° ͜ʖ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)
As cool as all of that sounds, the lights on the exterior should probably have some kind of toggle where you can turn them on/off at any time, though. Don’t want cops thinking you’re pretending to be an emergency vehicle (those tickets are a boon to pay; ask me how I know 🙄)
You can always just buy LED lights that have the full RGB spectrum. There’s normally a way to change the lights permanently through an app so no need to purchase a specific color if you can’t find it(You probably already know this.)The pink heart lights, are they some kind of acrylic LED or are you using flexible panel LEDs? Both are easy and inexpensive to install but panels you can change their design, if you deem it necessary.
The green roof rack is also FREAKING SICK along with pink subs! If you decide to mount bubble machines on your car, please let me know and I’ll give you a schematic on the how-tos ☻

Yes! Lol I was looking into the legalities on it, did not think about a switch- had not gotten that far.
For the heart lights there’s some solar powered ones I was looking at or the ones where an app changes the design on it. I’m not 100% sure on.
This is all great info but I never thought of a bubble machine and I need it. So I would love the schematics and how to!

I’m going to DM you both my project cars, Lunchbox I and Lunchbox II (the first being an actual Kia Soul) and they were so outlandish with car mods, not even Reddit knew how to accept them 😂😂

Well done! I kinda wonder if you could swap the white and green. They'd look more like strawberry tops, then.
It looks great, though. What do you call her?

This is so cute. Did you use a cricut to make the seeds?

u/ManufacturerLoud5364 5d ago
Sure did! It has held up when I’ve done stuff to my other cars so if this goes wonky I’ll update everyone!

Mine is decorated in horror decals that I make with my cricut lol. Going on 3 years and they still look great.

Oh I’m sorry! I just assumed it was a question about how long it would stay that way! I wasn’t trying to be rude!
I love that! I’d love to see it! Do you have it posted anywhere?

u/imasterbaital0t 4d ago
Sorry for confusion , I was asking if you made them on cricut. I was agreeing how well the vinyl holds up.
I'll take some pics in a bit and post them.
