normal cars headcanon ref?

WRONG

[activates Night Mode]

wanted to make a ref for my "racecars have glow-in-the-dark-eyes" headcanon and i got carried away with sparkles <3 i love sparkles <3

Racecars typically have really good eyesight! ...And no headlights. Hence, catlike night-vision.
Their eyes don't always glow! It's just in certain light/in varying levels of darkness.

• Chick is firework/confetti themed. It reflects his desire to win, his explosive temper, and odd sense of humor.
• Strip is sparks/flame themed. I think it's funny that the world's chillest guy has crazy wildfire reflective eyes at night. But they call him King for a reason... the fire is determination and a beacon.
• Doc is glacier/aurora borealis themed. He's mean and dramatic (and it looks awesome like the rest of him). He's got a tough exterior, but he's also an inventor/visionary in a way.
• Lightning is lightning themed (main character privileges + it's already his whole thing, the symbolism already rules), based on this headcanon from @youhavehitawall :

it wound up looking awesome ty for the idea!! [the first version was just a lotttt of glitter hehe]

Here's some various sketches because I've been itching to draw them:
