Post pix of your Polished Metal Metallic 8th Gen. (Coupe or Sedan) Any comments please private message the person.
 
hey .. will have some pix tomorrow.. i have an 08 coupe.. polished metallic rules
I agree, great color! Such a classy timeless color. But it looks exactly like my graphite pearl. I think it's the same same color with a different name. Polished metallic, san marino red, and alabaster silver are my favorite colors for the 08's. I love black too but I could never keep up with the cleaning all the same. Although quite frankly graphite pearl is pretty tough to keep looking clean too. I think the next car I get will be a silver just because it's so easy to keep clean and it always looks good.

But graphite pearl/polished metallic after a fresh wash on a sunny day is pure hotness.

I think it's off by a bit as the metallic gives it a shine the pearl doesn't, but the pearl can give a deeper mirror effect that metallic lacks.
 
Polished metal was my first choice but I ended up with Alabaster Silver. It came down to what they had in inventory coupled with how the silver door handles don't look quite as obvious on the silver vs. the PMM. Both great colors but the silver will do a better job of hiding imperfections and dirt (like our current "yellow" season we're going through currently in the Middle Atlantic region).
 
I also have a wind deflector, but I hadn't put it on when I took these pictures.
