Default Opionion on my 95 ex sedan color combo

My car is fully wire tucked going b16 swap.
In process of doing so now

Need opions on the color combo, I found these pic just to get an idea, and no I didn't steal my color combo from the pics, I happen to get lucky finding some pics of my idea

I THINK PURPLE GREEN AND WHITE GO GOOD TOGETHER

OEM dark green from 1995 civic ex
Purple engine bay
Purple spark plug cover
Black valve cover
White strut tower bar
White Type R control arms
Purple Beaks bar reading (grocery getter) in white lettering
Purple diamond racing wheels with white lip

All purple parts will be matching in color as will the white

Let my know what you think plz

I think this is the tech section, and you should have posted in the appearance forum.

I think that sounds like a horrible idea.

The dark green isn't very easy to find another color to go with. But this was my original plan because I have the tan interior.

Tan diamonds wheels.
Either tan valve cover or tan spark plug cover
All original green body and engine bay.
Tan Beaks bar with white lettering

I would suggest Green and silver.

Don't mix too many bright colors together. It'll start to look kinda tacky.

The overwhelming opinion will be to ditch those wheels. Simple black or silver wheels look best.

My old car:










Just a few examples.

This means absolutely nothing these days.

Google (amongst a few other sites) utilizes automated bots that cache websites for their database to have content available for when the site is offline. On forums, these bots count towards the amount of views you get on threads. Typically, about 80% - 90% of the pageviews you see on a thread weren't actually made by a human.
