I did the same thing. Additional tip: Since there is some latitude on how to design the stitching lines, pocket holders, etc, etc., I took my car down to the interior shop and said here, match this. He took a bunch of pictures and did match my car. I've had a few European deliveries of my car, and as a "frequent visitor", got the behind the scenes tour of the design shops and engine shop. They know what they are doing. If it's good enough for my car, it's good enough for Red Bo.

Not too worried about the burn certs. If the interior is on fire that means that the fuselage is on fire and it does not matter. There are no wires, fuel lines, oil lines, or anything else to cause ignition running through my sidewalls, headliners, or under the carpet. The plane would be on fire before the interior would be. Also, your 28V seat heaters are the biggest fire hazard in your plane. We have had thermal runaways on them where it gave the customer burns on their legs before they could get out of the car. We replace about a half dozen seat assemblies per year due to failed seat heaters that completely burn up the seats.
