Help a Newbie out?

I have just recently purchased a 1999 996 Cabriolet. The car was checked out by Porsche and mechanically it is in great shape (their words, not mine). However the drivers door panel has a tear and needs to be replaced. Also the convertible top has issues with the plastic window and some stains so it also needs to be replaced.

I am trying to avoid buying these parts from Porsche, and while finding the replacement top has been easy, the drivers door panel has been a challenge. The interior is space grey. So does anyone know a good place to get a door panel? The ones on ebay just say grey and they don't (from the pictures) seem to match what I have, so I am assuming there are a couple varieties of grey.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Be careful trying to match color by photos. Depending on the lighting grey can look very light to almost black. If you go to Suncoast Porsche's website, you can send them your VIN and they'll e-mail you the original build sheet. This will include the specific colors of the interior on your car. Assuming the car is still original, you will know the correct color names.
