We went with the head rest's they do restrict reach but if you cn't reach something the passenger (my wife) can. They are nice to have on a long cruise. We have every thing they sold and bought more material to cover things they didn't. Up the front side panels and along the firewall and around the rear windows. Don't know about the lite leather but the normal seat leather and the delux side panels are real nice. The only problem is where the two different panels butt together they flair out. I made a square patch with fabric over a piece of aluminum scrap and screwed it over the two pieces.

I have the ultra leather full interior and love it. No signs of wrinkling and the stuff is really tough. Probably harder to scratch than leather in my opinion. Anyway, my planes heavy enough already. There is a cost to all that comfort.

We used a high density rubber stuff. I don't remember where we got it. It is light and thick material but I don't think it was worth the money. I am still researching and have not seen anything I like. I would like something that keeps out the temperature and noise both at the same time. There is a lot of room behind the panels for insulation. The trick is finding the right stuff. The right stuff will be found when I can fly with out my head set. I don't think that will be possible due to most of the noise coming thru the canopy glass.

Velcro tape on both sides. It's pretty sticky stuff.
