Default Quick question about 08 color?

The Toyota dealer where I bought this badboy said it was 'Magnetic Grey'. But after some searching on da intawebs, I am assuming it's Smoky Granite Mica? That seems to be the only dark grey the 08's had.....right?

Cheers!

Smoky Granite Mica was the only grey color produced for the IS F in 2008. Magnetic Grey is a color that many Toyota vehicles come in, but none that I have seen on an IS F or any Lexus for that matter. SGM's paint code is 1G0, while Magnetic Grey Metallic is 1G3. You'll see that your SGM F has the paint code listed on the front driver side sticker with the VIN.

Yep...1G0 is on the sticker.

Thanks Brian...
