This is true. Unless they just have scraps laying around, but unlikely.

To the OP if you really want the door panels get them and the CARID kit, if they don't match sell one or the other. It may cost you a little bit but thats really the best way to see if you will like it.

I purchased the REMIN Carbon Fiber Kit from Carid. There is an option for purchasing a kit with real carbon fiber. Overall I am pleased with the kit, but not real happy. My first and biggest complaint is with the piece (#21) that is attached to the bottom of the steering wheel. I would advise NOT to install the lower steering wheel piece. The piece is to short and pokes your hands when turning the steering wheel. The manufacture should have extended the piece further to prevent this from happening. My second complaint was with the door control panel pieces (#42 & #58). These two pieces did not cover the entire door control panel a section of the sides are missing. My third complaint was the overhead console pieces did not adhere very well due to weight of the pieces verses gravity. I had to add some 3M spray adhesive to make them stay on.

In conclusion, for the limited kits offered on the market and for the price it does change the appearance of the interior positively

I think the OP is more concerned with the color match on the red more than opinion of the kit itself. I don't think there is any real way other than to buy them to know for sure unless some one here has already bought them which I believe is what he is hoping.

That is what I was hoping. I've seen quite a few people with the red black and orange black remin kits but I don't believe I've seen any with the door panels from aac. I'm going to pm johnathan to see if I can get a sample but idk how to get in touch with remin for some samples. I might end up just getting the black cf kit instead.

Ask CARID for a sample, I think it mentions that you can on their site even. Can't remember for sure. Also just ask Jonathan if you can send it to him and have him to a comparison and take photos for you maybe?

The only problem I have with the carbon fiber door kits from AAC is you will not be able to see the ABL lighting anymore. I like that feature, so I will wait until they can make one that utilizes the ABL. Good luck.

I've got the one from CarID (in fact, I've had 2... one gray, one orange/black)I highly recommend it.... great product and you can save even more $$$ by using this coupon code with CarID: forums

My CF panels have ABL

The red (orange, yellow, green) isn't Carbon Fiber, it's kevlar... but matching one product to another by different manufacturers even if both are real kevlar, not bendable in the form used, is expecting a miracle... different dyes, different processes... if it matches, you're lucky.

Does anyone know if you can get the carbon fiber in an orange color???
