Thread: Does anyone have any ideas for dressing my car up?

Tweet

I have a black Jeep and am looking for ideas on decorating it up for Halloween. The windows are a tad darker, so a cling might not show up...My license plate is MORB1D and I have a skeleton hanging from my viser year round. Just looking for a bit more oompf. Any ideas are appreciated!

spiderweb decal stickers? - great numberplate btw

You can make custom car magnets with whatever image you want at vistaprint.com - just remember they can get stolen since they are on the outside of the car

oh maybe tie a cape on the roofracks in a few spots so just the end flaps and put some white foam fangs on the grill?

I saw a VW gathering at Halloween at the FOF in NY last year. All of the cars were decorated. some used the different colored easy to remove painters tape to make their cars look different. I wonder if i still have those pics...

I like this idea, fangs would look great with the Jeep grill. I don't know if it's legal but you could put some window tint cut to the shape of cat's eye's (or bloodshot red?) over the headlight bulb...people use tinted headlight covers so I don't see why not.

Depends on the state if its legal or not, I'd generally assume no.

My suggestion is to put a fake (obviously) skeleton in the passenger side.

After looking around I find that those blackout covers are illegal for anything but offroading (like someone with a tricked out Impreza is going 2 tracking)...I doubt you would get pulled over for the bloodshot eyes one though.

Maybe tie up a skeleton on the hood? dress him up in hunter orange?

Those are all great ideas

I ordered some ghost and pumpkin car magnets just in case I can't decide on what else to do. I like the skeleton idea in the passenger seat, but since I drive the "family" car, I would sure be moving him around a bunch LOL. Is the old severed leg out of the door cheesy?

A skeleton hood ornament... or a spider... some sort of hood ornament. You could take the top off and make a rotted one to put on instead.

hey the severed leg is great!

i have a subaru forester so you can see inside the back where the trunk would be. One year i had a ton of broken old dolls in there for a project...i had lots of comments on those but the best was this half corpse thing i had riding around in the back with me one year...
