Who makes steel carriage house doors that look like STAINED wood?

We're building a new home and really like the look of carriage style garage doors like this: Photobucket

And, if I had an unlimited budget and could afford to have someone come restain and seal them twice a year, I'd not only go with real wood but I would get REAL carriage doors that swing outward! But, I can't afford REAL carriage doors or even roll-up "carriage look" doors in REAL WOOD. Nor do I want the hassle of yearly maintenance.

So I'm looking for a steel or fiberglass garage door that would give a similar look - at least from street distance. I found the article linked below indication that at least 13 companies are manufacturing steel doors with a stained wood appearance. Now I'm trying to track down those 13 companies to find out if any of them makes a "carriage style" roll-up door with a "stained wood" look. (Nothing like faking both the style AND the material. LOL!)

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I just saw samples today of Wayne Dalton series 9800 (I think) - looks like wood-- made with a fiber glass skin
