So will you attach it permanently? That will of course mean gluing something to your car. You would need heavy duty water resistant glue. As far as the butterfly… I’ve been doing some searching. It will either need to be a ceramic butterfly with a flat base… though not sure ceramic is a good idea… whatever you use needs to be waterproof. You could use a wood one or plastic. But you will need to make a mount for it. I suggest Etsy and Ebay. Search for “Brass Butterfly” and “Butterfly Ornament” and “Wood Butterfly”. I founds some cool ones on Etsy. But you will have to make some sort of mount and I’m not sure how to do that. Maybe a 1″ dowel with a thin flat base? Everything needs to be coated with waterproof lacquer or something. I found an expensive literal hood ornament on Ebay… I added it into the pics I sent so you could see what I mean by a mount to hold up the butterfly. I’ll email you too to make sure you get this. Most of these I found on Etsy. The glass one was SUPER expensive but you can see what you can find by using those searches. A really nice plastic one would work too I would think. Good Luck!

The flamingo is what first caught my eye, but the dragon might even be better. I will definitely have to do this.
