The owner of a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan has had his vehicle wrapped to honor the lives of Kobe and Gianna Bryant. Owner Joe Carbonara told TMZ Sports that he was so moved by the tragedy of the untimely demise of the Bryants that he took the silver car to get a custom wrap at X-Treme Graphics in Chicago.
The wrap features the numbers of Kobe and Gianna's jerseys - 2, 8, and 24; the names of all nine victims of the helicopter crash that killed the Bryants, unique artwork of the Bryants, and the Mamba logo. All the imagery rests on a background of Lakers purple with gold accents.
The process of wrapping the car took two days.
X-Treme Graphics shop owner Steve Zielinski told TMZ that the company did not charge for the custom job.

The Houston Astros are set to promote left-handed pitcher Colton Gordon from Triple-A Sugar Land to make his major league debut on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Gordon, 26, has been impressive this season with the Space Cowboys, posting a 4-0 record and a 2.55 ERA over 42⅓ innings, along with 43 strikeouts and a 1.20 WHIP. He last pitched on May 9, delivering six innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.
A native of St. Petersburg, Florida, Gordon was selected by the Astros in the eighth round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of the University of Central Florida.
Gordon's promotion comes as the Astros navigate a stretch of 17 consecutive games without a day off. The team plans to utilize a six-man rotation during this period, and Gordon's addition helps fill the gap left by Hayden Wesneski, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow soreness.
He will face Royals right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who enters the game with a 3-3 record and a 3.57 ERA over 45⅓ innings this season.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. CT at Daikin Park.
