Adel MB Filler/Toe Kick does not match

I had read all the posts about Adel MB doors not matching,so I checked all the numbers and made sure we got from the same supplier. Yeah all our doors match .

Now the problem is the toekick/filler does not match. For the toekick I am not too worried, but the filler pieces are glaring at me . I thought I could use cover panels, but they also do not match. That is not too obvious when they are on a different plane from the doors, but is obvious when we use them as filler. I could use the deco strip, but cannot figure out how to deal with the curved edge on the one side.
Any ideas?

Re: Adel MB Filler/Toe Kick does not match

Often times the quality of wood that is used for toekicks and panels are different than the doors. The outer part of the Adel doors is solid wood while the toekicks and panels are venner. Is it the stain that doesn't match or the grain?

Re: Adel MB Filler/Toe Kick does not match

It is actually both. The toe kick is a darker stain with more grain.

What we did was use the crown molding as filler for smaller gaps. For the bigger gaps we bought an extra door and pulled them apart. The door part matches exactly, but the cornw molding sitll looks a little off, not as bad as the toe kick though.
