I believe USA1 Industries is recognized as having colors that match original the best. However, if you want anything quickly, I'm not sure if they're the place for you. Finally got my door bags and headline I ordered in April yesterday.

If they're not cracked or messed up, you can remove all the trim, and get some vinyl dye from USA1 (that does ship fairly quickly), and re-spray them. That's what I did on mine and came out looking really good. If there's dry rot on them, you can use some sandpaper and remove the "dead" plastic. Although you have to watch to not remove too much of the grain pattern.
