I want a true purple type color.

This is a purple (and car) I would rock:

Have you seen that one Plasti-Dipped purple Z? It is possible...

Or a Vinyl Wrap job?? That's an option too...

Yeah, I saw it, but it's just not the same as a real purple paint, ya know?

Gloss, flake, and texture (smooooooth ).

Even that photo above is photoshopped.

What about that Neo-Chrome paint you always see on shitty azz mustangs that goes from green to purple depending on the light angle?

And don't get me wrong, I love this blue. I really do, but if I had to repaint, it'd be a purple I think. Just to be unique, so I don't have anymore copy-cats.

It's not that bad, but not something I'd ever do, at least not that color scheme.

I wish we'd of gotten that color instead of Black Cherry in 2010. I would totally have bought it. I might have even traded mine in for it now, if it didn't have the bumper and wheels it does.

Yeah, I like the blue on the R34 a lot too.

I would still take the purple one in the pic. Change the rims though.

Or throwing it at the wall and driving to the Verizon store to get a new one under warranty will do the same thing.
more work for the factories is always good news for them.
