John,

My front door panels from Legendary have carpet inserts described as "carpet #81 Charcoal".  And the carpet I ordered from ACC was color 35 Graphite.  When I ordered my door panels I asked about the source of the carpet for the inserts and was told it was ACC.  Sounds like what they're quoting is right, but you might confirm with them that the carpet is from ACC and the color is Charcoal.

Good luck!

 You are correct, carpet on the door panels and the kick panels should match the floor carpet.

 I remember the carpet being listed as #81 when they did my door panels and they sent the kick panel carpet at the same time with a bead already sewn in so they could be attached to the plastic. You have to restore the plastic kick panels with the correct graphite SEM vinyl color and then attach the new carpet from Legendary. I used the same SEM vinyl color that we used on our dash plastic bezel that matches the dash pad in white interior cars. I believe it you look at the ACC carpet site they still use the code 81 for the gray carpet there also. As for the white?..it is simply the closest match available without finding NOS grain material and refinancing the farm. I have no problem with the color,but the grain is not a perfect match from my original.

Ahh ,  Thanks guys .  That clears things up a little bit, it was just the way he had it written out that made it look like it was for a 81 ford when 81 is actually the color code .
