I never would have thought purple would work . . . I stand corrected.

When I saw the thread title, I didn't think I would like the purple.

I was proven wrong. That looks good.

That color actually works well with your car. Good choice. I also have a purple car but a different shade. I installed some black leather with the purple stitching along with pearl purple calipers. If you would like to see some pics I can post them for you. I think the pearl calipers are pretty close to your color so I'm not sure it will work or not though. The yeller looks good.

Looks great! I would love to see a z06 in Melina blue. It's pretty purple in the right sunlight, and has always been one of my favorite colors on a car

I got all the lighting stuff from corvettemods.com - the front corners are these:

with the switchbacks and parking LED's, they look and work great.

I want to do some interior stuff at some point but I haven't really decided which way to go. To start I'm looking at all functional stuff: shifter, pedals, stereo, seats. I'd like to add some things with color accents (like stitching on seats, shift boot, piping on console lid, maybe overlays for steering wheel and dash, silver gauge bezels, etc.) sometime but don't know whether to go with purple, white/silver, or yellow.

One thing that makes it hard to decide is the lack of quality photos for many of these products. A lot of things have a single 150x150 pixel photo for a $200 product and you have to just buy the thing to find out whether it looks good or tacky.

I think we all agree that needed to be a factory color.
