Yes the two are pretty different. Alpine silver is more...silver. My 01 Millenium Silver GS has a slight gold tinge to it.

ive always liked the greddy lip. but imho, it doesnt look good on silver and w/out a kit. i think a greddy lip is nice on white and black colored GS'.

just my 2 cents

Paint Code 1C0 (One C Zero) Check the drivers side door, It will give you your paint code, It will be three characters.

Millennium Silver has kind of a jade-ish tint to it on top of the silver

From looking at the picture though, it kinda looks like that lip had some photoshop work done to the picture to make the lip look flawless. Maybe it's just me looking at it too closely though.
