More inspiration pics

These are a little more flourescent blue/petty blue than the grabber blue, but they're a shade I'd also consider. Also nice reference for body styling and wheel color/style, etc.

Alternatively, orange (tangerine)

I'd also consider painting the car a really bright ass orange.
