Graphite Metallic was only available during 2004 & 2005 model years. The 2006 thru 2008 models came with Machine Gray Crystal Pearl, which has the "blueish" flake in it. Sometimes hard to get paint shops to recognize the difference as some paint listings show the formulations the same for both colors. I'm dealing with that right now with Dr. ColorChip website. They insist that the formulations are the same and I'm telling them the colors are distinctively different. They say they're right & I KNOW I'm right!

 

Car really looks good! Can't help but think that the color is something other than factory paint. Even for a Machine Gray version, yours really "jumps" with color. Most Machine Gray XFires don't come across as that "bold" a color. Could be the wax job, maybe?

Anyway, like I said, car really looks good!
