Depends on the style of pin. What specific use case are you asking about?

could I, in theory, where the stars are place a technic pin and then fill it in a rod?

Yes, a 2L friction pin is one of the pins that a bar can fit inside without issue. The finished model is only 2 bricks thick. The only bar element that short is the bar 2L with stop (which is hollow and may not give you the best look). You might stick to what the original MOC creator used, which was headlight bricks with barbs/horns pressed in. You could also use the carrot top in glow-in-the-dark white, which would just barely fit.

Neat, thanks.
E: I tried the 1x1 round plate with bar (the mini frying pan) and there's no 1l pin to put it in so it didn't line up. So This is what I settled on

The printed tiles do kind of suck, at least in the product shots. Sometimes that stuff looks better in person.

But if I was going to go the route of a tile on the front for stars I probably would have put a 1x1 round tile onto a headlight brick. That would provide the option of using a trans clear tile and putting a LED behind it. Or if you recess by one brick thickness stick one of those ice cream swirl pieces in there.

The axle+pin through a brick with an axle hole would probably look the smoothest though as it would sit flush with the backdrop.

Yup. I mocked that up in Studio too but in the context of the overall composition, I think the smaller stars formed by a bar element look best, personally. I'd probably go the barb or carrot top route personally if I were gonna get this set, with the added bonus of it being a cheap modification with just a few pieces.

How does getting hold of multiple GWPs work?

Let's take the hypothetical, ahem, situation where buying birthday presents (and maybe a little something for myself) adds up to twice the minimum spend for a GWP. It would seem obvious that one order only gets one GWP, but can two orders be made in a day and both qualify?

Wow, what a fantastic build. Beautiful shaping; it's hard to get curves looking so clean but you've really nailed it. There's some real NPU here too. Recycling one food element to represent another is just devilishly clever. I also have to commend the simplicity of your design. It's easy to get carried away with complex techniques, but it's a real joy to behold difficult shapes like this represented so convincingly with so few pieces. And, despite the intricacy of the design, it looks like this would actually be a really stable, solid build as well - super playable. I have to give you some bonus points for making it minifig-scale, as well! Really phenomenal work. Any plans to put this on Ideas? Either way, I'd definitely pay for instructions.

There are some press photos flying around from Stellantis themselves of a Peugeot 9X8 WEC hyper car model. It looks really cool and is a fairly accurate representation of the real thing, that actually lends itself very well to LEGO.

Also might be some interesting LED usage, but I can't tell if that's just overemphasized photoshop, or actual LED lights embedded in the headlights.

It does look like sticker hell like most of the bigger racing car sets.
