Black out the other parts; dash, cage, whatever trim left behind after
being shaved.
Purple based colors are hard to pick over the internet, just remember
any color looks different in the large scale vs the paint chip.
Pearl is nice but I shudder at the 'Key Magnet' affect. Nut cases
jealous of your ride might not like the beauty and act out their bad
upbringing.
Not to trip but lets think 'Boy's Colors', OR just go balls-to-the-wall
and be happy. :)

Parts Express (if not somewhere you already know) have solenoid stuff to
make it happen. Is the hood scoop for the Eng. bay or up by the rain
tray?

How about a slight window treatment? It's usually frowned upon by the
law to tint the front side windows, but if it's done right and so light,
it can fade in the (darker) rear sides better than none at all. No Limo
tint just a slight shading for subtle effect.

Lets see some pre pix maaannnn.
