OPINIONS... Sunlight Silver rx8 w/ deep purple rims and engine bay

All opinions welcome...

considering doing a purple accent. so purple rims and then purple in the engine bay to keep the flow of the accent color. what would you think?

I could only find wrx's... but i think it'd be really original for an rx8

rims...





engine bay...

I like how it is different than what others would do.

I did think about doing purple myself since a couple of my parts are somewhat purple already.

I think a more candy/anodized purple. Has to be med dark like the rims above. Would look good.
All depends on how you lay it out.

Any color goes with silver.

Edit: Just noticed you had a ZEX kit. Use that color purple.

I would assume they don't have a color code for that so i would have to eyeball it?

I forgot to update you guys on the rim status... you can see my whole build thread of how i did it in my sig. but here are some quick pics

I went with a really deep purple, so they shine in the light but look really dark at night
