A portion of the wheel stud is also visible above the character's head. The character is standing with its arms outstretched, and is wearing a jump suit with lightning bolt accents on the arms and legs, and the words "LUG NUT" centered across the chest. The words "LUG" and "NUT" appear between two horizontal lines, and are separated by a side-view image of a lug nut. The character is also wearing a checkered cape, a belt with a hexagon-shaped buckle, gloves, and shoes with laces. On each side of the character's face, as well as the neck portion of his cape, is a stylized globe with a stylized race car at its center. |
