How to execute accent color

I'm looking for ideas to implement a purple accent color on a 03 white gt. The middle of the lower front fascia is white too but I was thinking of doing silver with the upper and side of that piece that "goes back toward the car" if that makes sense in purple. I'd appreciate all ideas of what I could do with purple that would actually look good. Not looking for gaudy or over the top. Was also thinking purple front arrowhead overlay, center cap overlays, and maybe purple lug nuts.
For reference, the car is going to remain completely stock. Not lowering, stock wheels, hood, spoiler, etc. Just looking to do some little things, and it's for my g/f to drive and her favorite color is purple. I need to paint the front bumper anyway so would like to do the lower fascia with something.
Thanks!

I'm also interested in interior accents too, such as uv LEDs
 


Easiest thing to do is the obvious. Overlays for the badges!

I say ditch the purple lug idea and do purple calipers!

Maybe a purple outline on the grills...
A decal or 2 in purple...

Just a few other things to consider that wouldn't cost much at all!
 
Idk about the calipers. I didn't want to make it look too over the top, just subtle. Do you think it would look good?
As for the badge overlays, I planned on debagding the doors and trunk and painting the Grand am GT badges I have purple and slapping those on there.
Has anybody done the two color thing on the front air dam I was talking about?
 
purple could work on calipers if its a darker purple. same with painting stock grill edges. black lower fascias with that, full/partial debadge and inlays in purple. thats how id do it.

Reason I was thinking darker grey, medium grey, or even a galaxy silver is because I feel like on a white car black would kinda make the whole lower center section disappear, which isn't what I want. Kind of the opposite really.
 
I would NOT paint the fascia black for the reason u stated above!

Painting the calipers a darker purple is smart for the fact that they do get dirtay.
