Default Silver ?

Are there 2 different silver colors for 03 & 04's ?

I saw some said machine silver , some mentioned some other kind of Silver ?

I'm not talking about Spiral gray or Pewter , just the Silver color.

Whats the difference if there are 2 silvers ?

machine silver and quicksilver. machine silver looks a little darker to me. quicksilver in certain light almost gives off a white color because of the amount of metallic in the paint.

I personally like quicksilver more than machine silver, but to each his own

do a search... there are some pics floating around comparing the two silvers side by side. some people say they cant tell the difference between the two colors. when you see both cars sitting side by side you can really see a big difference between the two colors.
