Thanks for any and all help.

The interior is by Classic Aero Designs. I went with the Sportsman seats and side panel package and added embroidery to the seats, upper baggage panel, tonneau cover, and front and rear carpet. I decided to go this route to allow for as much room inside the cockpit. I almost went with the Aviator package, but sat in another RV that had it and found that the side panels decreased the overall width by about 2-3 inches and the seats had a bit more foam which caused my head to be very close to the canopy since I am 6'2". I really like the interior and it is very comfortable.
The paint was done by T&P Aero Refinishers out of Sainas, CA. They did an awesome job and their attention to detail is amazing. The instrument panel is unique. It is a fiberglass design that was fabricated by Accuracy Avionics that use to be out of Bend Oregon. Unfortunately they are not in business anymore, however Eric McDonald (who worked at Accuracy) moved on to Redmond Air in Redmond Oregon and may be able to still accommodate a custom panel design such as this. Good luck with your airplane. It is all worth it in the end. I am having so much fun flying now that it is completed. These planes are just amazing!
