Paint code needed

I sold my '07 Type-S and have put about a thousand miles on my (new to me) '11 SH-AWD. This car is TEN TIMES BETTER!!! Everything I hated about the Type-S has been fixed in the SH-AWD car.
Having said that, it is a used car and I'm trying to spruce it up. Does anyone know what the paint code is for the silver fog light trim? Apologies if this has already been covered.

The paint code is on one of the labels in the door jam.

Thanks, but I need the color code for the fog light trim, not the exterior color.

Got it. If you were to order the actual part, it tells you right there what the paint code is.

You could always paint them black to match the grille base.

You know, one of my coworkers mentioned the same thing yesterday. I'll have to search for some pictures of this to see what it looks like (assuming it has already been done).
Thanks for the suggestion!

What did you hate about the 3G?

Don't get me started.
The steering was unbelievably stiff. This was Acura's way of dealing with the torque steering issue before they fixed it the right way. It was a real bear to drive.
The steering wheel shook at 80 MPH. They all do this. Of course when you ask the dealer to address it, they say, "Oh NO! We can't drive the car over the speed limit!!" which is their attempt at a cop out because they know it's a systemic issue and cannot be fixed.
They have the infamous hesitation off the line which drove me crazy.
The NAV ergonomics were absolutely horrible.
The climate control ergonomics were even worse.

Based upon what I've seen in the Photography gallery, it's been done a few times.

(that's where I saw it to suggest)

What I have decided to do is to paint the silver part my body color (Grigio Metallic) and not black. I think this would go great with the factory add on spoilers (which are basically the same motif). I ordered two new pieces which are arriving today. When I get them back from the paint shop, I'll post pictures. The black doesn't do it for me. Looks great on the other cars though.

The new parts are on the car.
I just placed an ad in the Marketplace section to sell my original pieces.
