Yes! I'm back with a new car livery! This took me a few months of doing this on and off due to miscellaneous stuff happening in my life and other things. But in reality, it didn't take up too much time if you were to only factor in making and putting the decals all together. Check out what I did to this
2009 Ferrari 458 Italia, where a huge portion of the decals are pixel sprites from Super Mario Bros. 3! This Mario game means a lot to me since it was the first game I ever played in my life, so to combine it with cars which is another thing I like is even better!
Of course, here are a few angles showcasing all sides of the car.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the original link where I got the svg file of the game's title. In hindsight, I should've bookmarked it, but I think I found it somewhere on a wikimedia page.

Here are the decals I used on the livery first starting off with block sprites!
Some miscellaneous stuff.
Next batch is the enemies! From left to right, top to bottom, we got a koopa, paratroopa, paragoomba, goomba, buzzy beetle, the angry sun, fire bros, thwomp, boomerang bro, chain chopmp, hammer bro, ptooie, bullet bill, parabeetle, rocky wrench, piranha plant,
whatever those things are spiny, lakitu, spike, bob omb, and nipper plant. I know I didn't include every single enemy from the game, but it's still a good amount!
And of course, here are the underwater enemies featuring variations of cheep cheeps and a blooper.
Let's not forget Mario himself who got different powerups which are the tanooki leaf, frog suit, tanooki suit, and the hammer bro suit!
Speaking of powerups, here they are too. Note that the third row of powerups is just outlined.
Now you're probably wondering, "Shellzilla, how did you precisely get the pixel sprites down from Super Mario Bros. 3?" Well, I used this simple square as my building block as shown below. In Inkscape, I can snap the corners of the simple squares to each other to make the alignment and accuracy that much easier. Phew! I even referred to
this page of the Super Mario Universe website containing many sprite sheets where I got to closely examine them. Funnily enough, Microsoft Paint helped me out big time in getting the exact pixels I wanted to place down!
Oh, and enjoy my username in Super Mario Bros. style lol. If you ever played Super Mario Bros. 3, you may notice that the colours I grabbed are similar to the
title screen from the game!
In the midst of everything, there's a particular character that also appeared in the livery. Why yes, it's Pag-asa once again who is my animal villager OC! I guess he wanted to dive into the 8-bit world too lol. Anyways, I simply had fun trying to make pixel art of him even though I didn't exactly adhere to the pixel dimensions. Plus, it makes me feel happy how I was able to translate his vibrant feathers into pixelated form. I dunno, some people might joke around saying he's my fursona, but he's simply become my comfort character since.
Edit: Fixed an error.
