My video fail turned this into a comparison project LOL. So we have two different types of sticker paper as well as lights!⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
There's a matte version which has this rubbery feel texture that is super cool. While the colors aren't as vibrant, I really do like the paper. This one has the multi-color lights from Amazon. Now if you're wondering why the lights aren't as bright, it's because I forgot to turn off the lights and they had been going for well over 24 hours straight. Also I have the lights behind the sticker paper.⁠⁠⁠
⁠⁠⁠
Now onto the glossy version. I used the white lights (also from Amazon) BUT this time I cut out the sticker paper where the lights are and put vellum paper. So the lights are really bright!
⁠⁠⁠
Usually I prefer the multi lights, but the bright white lights matched his smile and it was perfect for a car.

And special thanks to @strawsticksnbricks for the flag svg 🙌🏻.
