You should PM Chrism. He did just that, and from the pics it looks like a pretty good match.

You realize you have an 04 and the paint code will not match due to 4 years of sun and the elements. Your paint shop should be able to match it just by bringing the car in.

From one TiGray MS kit owner to another, here's an advise. The MS gunmetallic trim is only one or two shades off from the TiGray color. IMHO, in certain angles and lighting, it reminds me of a bad paint match. The contrast isn't as nice as the other colors. Some people can live with it, but I couldn't. I had my trim pieces resprayed an even darker gray. Just a thought since you have the opportunity, and especially since the Veilside sides run up.
