Sooooo... We just bought a new car. I was totally bummed to sell my Jeep Liberty. I need the 4WD in the winter and I could throw my dogs in the back and head to the dog park. I like my new Sonata BUT no 4WD and I'm not throwing my dogs in a brand new sedan. Hubby knew I was having a hard time so when his parents were getting rid of their Explorer for $1000 he let me know. Of course I bought it. It's in good shape they were just dumping it because they got a new car. It was kinda my Christmas gift. Anyway... I want to Halloween-ify it. Why not? I've never had a cheap car before so I want to make it original.

I want it to look good when I'm done and I don't want to spend a ton of money since the car didn't cost much but I do want it to be Spooktacular. Anyone got any good ideas? The Explorer is white. Tan leather interior.

Hey.. we just got a new Sonata too!

Window stickers/magnet decals are the first thought but I'm sure someone here has something better....

Also an arm or something hanging out of the back window.

Love the cars and ideas. I'm especially loving the decals. The bats and the Nightmare Before Christmas scene. Affordable and fun. I didn't even think to look for decals on Ebay.

Keep 'em coming. Oh and I def need an arm or something hanging out of the back. Eeekk! Hubby is cringing as I'm typing this. Bwahahahahaha!

This is the first year I'm decking out my Escape. I figure more people see the vehicle than my house.

Someone ran a red light and hit my car in March. Totaled the car but it's still drivable. I'm taking advantage of that dent and attaching a spider to the door panel where the dent is. I'm putting a skeleton in the passenger seat wearing a seatbelt looking out the window and waving. The "support Halloween" magnet will remain on the back. I'm going to make a bat antenna topper. The roof rack is going to be lined with dollar tree skulls.

Custom painted Jack O' Lantern hubcaps?
Even plain orange would look cool with black tires.

A black, orange and purple Halloween wreath wired to the front grill.

If it's a stick-shift, a pumpkin or skull knob for the stick.

A high quality figure of a broom-riding witch to hang from the rear-view mirror, something nice.

Halloween-themed floormats.

See if you can find a really cool hood ornament, like a bat, a skull, something.

If it has an antennae, get a Halloween-themed ornament for that.

Bloody hand prints on the rear window, to the side so as not to block vision.

Fluorescent triangle eyes and a toothy grin on the back, for those travelers behind you on dark nights.
