Wrapped the 911 Targa with Hello Kitty and Kuromi

Behold! My Sanrio wrapped Porsche 911:

And the other side:

It’s split down the middle so that both sides transition to different colors front to back:

So, how does something like this happen? We’ve had great results with Purple Flare Wraps doing our Speedster replica in metallic pink, Defender in black camo, and the base Gulf blue wrap for our Graffiti Gulf 356. I sent them my goal for the 911: I wanted to give the car a split personality. I wanted one side red, the other side black, with geometric shapes breaking it up like shattering glass. On the red side of the car, I wanted Hello Kitty, and on the black side, Kuromi. Purple Flare sent over this custom design for approval:

I loved it and pulled the trigger. I dropped it off, and they printed the wrap and applied it to the car. I love the way it turned out, and got the finishing touch:

I posted it in /r/sanrio and /r/porsche, and the comments were pretty amusing. The Hello Kitty crowd was all over it, and for the most part the Porsche crew were tolerant of it – but a few of ’em were real grumps. Perfect! That means I’ve struck the right balance – it’s just loud enough to offend the purists, hahaha.

    How long does that take for them to do? From drop off to pick up? Pretty unique!

      We designed it ahead of time, and they sent proofs back and forth. I have a few cars, so I always tell ’em to take their time, put more urgent customers in front of me if necessary. It took about a week.
