This question has been lingering in my mind ever since I got my TL... Whats the difference between SSM and ASM? Are they actually the same colour but with different names? Or are they ever so slightly different?

Problem is, my mom's 2004 CR-V is also in SSM, but when I park my car beside hers in the garage, my car seems to carry this blue tint to it.

 

Your right, SSM has a blueish tint to it while ASM has some white flecks along with the silver.

 

ASM and SSM are slightly different colors

ssm - NH-623M
asm - NH-700M

by my understanding they are close, but ASM is darker...
