Default Painted Mirror Covers WTF?

So the color of my car is Brilliant Silver...at least I'm guessing that's what it is. As far as the painted mirror covers from AM go, they have Vapor Silver and and Satin Silver. [>:]

Which one is it???

your car color is shown as a code inside the drivers side door jamb.
Look next to where it says EXT PNT.

Use that, as most sites will want the color code, not a name.
BTW, for 2006 the silver color was Satin Silver.
Did you buy your Mustang used? You might want to pick up a 2006 brochure off of eBay to let you know hat you should have.

Silvers for 06 were Satin Silver and Tungsten Grey.

To be called Brilliant Silver, my gut tells me that it's Satin, but as was said above, check your door jamb for the sticker to be sure

Tungsten is T8, don't remember what Satin Silver's code is
