Car Mustache
Whether your car is attending a fancy event, or trying to go incognito while infiltrating a foreign spy ring, you need to get yourself a Carstache. Hooked on to your grill, any vehicle can be made more stylish, and they come in a variety of haircolors depending on your vehicle’s temperment.
Make sure you clean it a lot: remember how icky your grille gets due to insects who can’t be troubled to get out of the road? Leave it too long without a good Stanley Steemer going-over, and it’ll look like the doormat of the Batcave. We sure want one – don’t forget how much we love moustaches!
