Question on color.

I'm having a tough time figuring out what the color of my car is. I've been searching for hours and hours on the difference between ASM and SSM. From what i've gathered so far, 04-05 models are SSM and the 06+ are Alabaster, Can anyone confirm this or help me out? I don't want to paint the wrong color on my lip, and body kit.

I drive an 04'.

From your avatar, it looks like you have an ASM.

I believe you has SSM as well. Just like I do.
I posted a link somewhere in one thread... had the color codes for different Acura cars.
You could also apparently tell by usin the 11th digit/letter in your VIN I think.

If you check your door jam thing... you should see two stickers. Or was it one? I forget.
But one should say this..

INT. Color:
something something
EXT. Color:
NH-623M

Or something like that. By the way, thats the code for SSM: Satin Silver Metallic.
ASM: Albaster Silver Metallic is... NH-700M
