Talking color scheme opinions

alright ccs, im a 2.2 07 l61 going turbo. i have a very good idea of what arts i'm getting. i have a color scheme i worked up and want your opinions on it. my car is lazor blue metallic and my accent is black although i need another color. i will post below of pics what i'm planning.

my car: yess i know i need lowered and new rims..



alright, so i wanna do my charge pipes, two pieces of the BOV, and coil cover in this color:



my engine bay will look somewhat similar to this:



this is the most recent pic i have of my current bay, yes the wiring like that is gone:



i would redo my valve cover in black and maybe down the road do my calipers this color. its called illusion purple. i go to shows so i'm looking for it to stick out some.. ohh btw i'm a senior in high school. thanks for the opinions guys!

i dont think the purple will look good with lbm. Its to similar to the car color so imo it will look like you tried to match colors and failed greatly.

i personally like a color that is so random and out of control it looka amazing.

I found a really dark green car, rims had a chrom/polished lip. then the face of the wheel is tangerine orange. IMO it looks AWESOME!!!

but somethignlike that, slights spots of hot pink, aqua, pearl white, little i mean little amounts of yellow. if you can pull it off, neon green
