From what I can find, it depends on the year.
2003-04 = Tectite Grey
2005-06 = Flint Grey

Grey was my first choice, and I almost had a Flint Grey one, but the seller pulled out 6 days before purchase.

So there is a slight difference if the color names are different. Sorry i just want that exact color and I'm picky.. I most likely will end up with A 03-04 so i know i have to look for tectile. The pictures i posted are from an 06' e55 so its most likely flint I'm assuming.
