    the reflective silver looks more whitish than the regular silver

    Free bump.

    All I know is it's pretty hard to really tell by looking at their color chart. I already went through the exchange process because their dark blue wasn't very dark(looked darker on the chart than it really was). Maybe find some car pictures on the forum somewhere and see if you can determine what matches best. Or wait for someone who knows to stop by.

    Found this pic by Warbeaver

    Not sure what color this is, wonder if it was the light silver because it looks pretty white. Has to be the light silver, this looks white and they don't make a reflective white.

    Too bad they don't have a rainbow colored inlay.

    I kind of want to put a supercharged engine cover and badging on my N/A and bring it into a dealer haha

    man, I'm still not sure. i know i can buy it and return it but still. their color chart shows a metallic silver but you can't buy that color. i polished my exhaust so it'll have to match that plus the car color. ughhhh i don't know! what do you guys think? my best guess would be the reflective stuff but...

    I'd think the non reflective silver would match best

    theres what it looks like. its been like 3 weeks and i like it except for that its darker than id like. you can see the exhaust and body are much lighter than the sticker. i was think i could use touch up paint to paint on the sticker so i don't have to buy a new one. will this work??

    Looks good. I have seen a set with black in the center with a silver border that looks good.

    Yes it does. I had one some time ago and it looked more white than silver.

    I did mine with body color paint. It was cheaper than inlays and I thought it looks good. Not to blingy and looks factory.
