Thank you

NO... it is actually a different shade. Being extremely **** about that kind of stuff, I actually have 13 different shades of Lt. Oak (Similar Hue, but different Value and Chroma). The pieces originally purchaced from MAD didn't exactly match the leather. Now, after repainting with their interior paint, they do. Spoke to someone from MAD at Carlisle who believed that it was the same paint, but wasn't sure especially after telling this tale. He told me that he was going to check. Too Late for me...Bought another can of paint there...$12!

Update. i sent the door bezels back and called and was told they are back ordered.I told mid america that before they send them out to me to make sure the paint on them is in good condition because the other ones pealed and they should not have done that.They said they would so we will see what happens i will probably get them just in time to store the car for the winter.

Well after almost a month i got my colored door bezels back from mid america i had sent the other ones back that i had received due to fit probems and pealing problems.This time i put one on the drivers door it did not fit correctly so i though maybe it would work on the passanger door and so i exchanged it and it fit perfectly on the passanger door and then i put the other on the drivers door and that one worked out great it fit perfectly.So if anyone who is getting a set try what i did if one side does not fit right just change it around.Their is no left or right side to these things so you just sort of have to work it out but they are one of the easiest things so far that i have had to put on the car.
