I like the purple. It would be a nice change from regular cars on this site, which is definitely not what you car is.

Great build though!

Cars looking GREAT! I like the purple, but then again I'm a fan of non-traditional color schemes.

I like the 3rd rendering better than the 2nd. In the 2nd, the headlights are too dark and I don't like that look.

I like the purple stripe a lot. I don't like the purple on the wheels. Do black or body-color on the wheels with a purple logo on the center cap. Maybe your signature in purple or SS logos on the center caps.

I'd rather see the grill area painted black than left the exterior color. Just my personal preference, I don't think the 4th gens look good with body colored grill areas.

This is my $0.02 but have you thought about having the purple in a Matte finish with the car gloss? Just my thoughts though.
