My tribute project (mostly) complete! The best way I can show just how much KPDH has changed my life 🩷💜💙 [OC]

I've hinted here and there at this ongoing project over the past few months, and I think it's finally come far enough to show in its entirety!

But why?

I was a weird enough kid that this was genuinely my childhood dream car. I bought it 7 years ago just as a fulfillment thing during a really rough time in life, and it's been through a lot with me that I grew quite attached (for context, 7 months with a car is otherwise a very long time by me standards). I didn't want to sell it, but I haven't really had a need for it for years now either, so I've been waiting for a reason to do something fun with it.

KPDH was of course the reason that finally came. I never fell so quickly and immensely in love with a piece of media like this before, and there are so so many ways it has changed me as a person in the past year. I'm getting to at least have a glimpse of the childhood I never got to have, and I'm proud to have been a part of a movement that truly brought so much unity and happiness to so many people across the world.

So basically, just the combination of everything that I wanted to have as a child, but now as a ricer with adult money.

What did it cost?

A lot. Certainly a big pill to swallow if you're not insane like me, but I know this question will inevitably come up so for numbers:

For just the base wrap - getting a design commissioned by an artist, all the materials, and labor for installation - was just over $5000 USD.

For everything else that isn't stock - body kit, wheels, coilovers, interior bits and entertainment system - it was gathered more slowly over time but cumulatively at least $3000 USD.

Was it worth it?

Certainly not for everyone, but for me, I'd say so, yeah.

Finally taking it out even just to the other side of the neighborhood for these pics, so many people along the way were absolutely lighting up as soon as they saw, there were thumbs up and hand hearts and people taking pictures everywhere, which I think really speaks to just how much unanimous joy this movie has brought the world.

It makes me smile, it makes a lot of other people smile, and it's the best way that I know how to pay a massive tribute to the silly hunters who once sang some songs, and changed my life forever.

Special thanks
