creating fake individual window frames in a full-view door

I have 2 full-view glass doors in my den. They are relatively nice recent doors, but I don't like the look of the full-view glass.
I would like to apply some sort of trim across the glass and make it look like smaller individual rectangular windows-french door style. It seems relatively simply, just buy some thin trim and run it across, cutting as needed- but I'm having a fair amount of trouble getting appropriate trim? I've tried both lowes/homedepot but the closest I can get is some screen door flat trim- not very decorative. Are there any other sources of this trim- maybe some premade kit or some better source anyone can think of??

Simulated Divided Lites

You can buy kits that are applied with double sided tape to create a simulated divided lite look. Available from Creative Millwork at http://www.creativemillwork.com/product.htm

Alot of times when I do punch work, the window installers have left the grid kits for me to put in. As stated they come with one sticky side and adhere really good, so make sure you mark the glass with an erasable marker and straight edge before applying. You may contact your door mfg. to see if they have the grids. You can always purchase the enclosed blind kit as well to give a little more privacy. They mount directly over your existing molding.

Thanx Tru Blue

Thanx for that link. I work for Home Depot in the window and door department and I am often asked for stick on grilles. Now I have somewhere to refer people to.
