Set the Hue to - 55, Saturation to 30, Lightness to 0. Go to Image > Adjustments > Levels. Set the values to 0,0.85,255. Step 5 - Defining Pattern: Open up the Hello Kitty PSD file you downloaded earlier. Hide all other layers except for the face and do a rectangle selection around it. Go to Edit > Define Pattern.

Step 6 - Wrap Pattern on Front: Duplicate the Hello Kitty pattern and hide one of the two layers. While on the visible pattern layer, go to Edit > Transform > Warp. Wrap the pattern to the car front by shifting the square corners. Adjust the positions of the points like shown in the diagram. Step 7 - Wrap Pattern on Side: Unhide the other pattern layer and repeat similar technique used in Step 6 for the side of car. Merge both pattern layers. Use Soft Eraser tool of size 150px and opacity 50%, fade its border to blend into the car. Concentrate more on those area that seem further away.

Use Soft Eraser tool of 100px and opacity 50%, fade off the left side of the logo. Step 9 - Adding the Shadow: Create a new layer below the car. Use Soft Brush tool with color #000000 and opacity 80%, paint in the shadows. Step 10 - Adding the Glow: Duplicate the car layer. Select the duplicated layer and go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the radius to 5px. Set the Blending Mode of this layer to Screen and opacity 50%. You can increase the opacity if you wish the car to look even more dreamy.
