I have attached several photos of my interior panels, magazine pocket and molds, the aluminum baggage door sill, and my remote release.

 

My interior panels look ugly in the photos, probably due to sanding.  I had to fit the panels where they touch the instrument panel in the airplane, so you can see the patching of the carbon fiber up there.  I wanted them to taper down and line up with the rectangular block on the lower corners of the instrument panel.  I also did a couple "overtrims" and had to patch back in some material on a couple edges.  It's difficult to fit something that's too big!  I molded the panels in one piece, the cut them so I could get them into the plane.  I did curved cut so the seam would be part on the interior design, not just a vertical cut.  I'll use some of the plastic car interior fasteners along the seams to hold them tight.  The rest of the panels are secured by screws.  I won't have any screws showing when everything's done.

 

The magazine pockets are 2 bid and are held in place by #6 screws countersunk from the front.  The foam and leather will cover the screw heads and wrap through the opening in the panel.  After the panel is upholstered, I'll screw the pockets back to the back side of the panels.  I had my paint store match some paint to the leather.  I'll paint the pockets to match the leather.  I may cut the openings a little larger, gotta do some testing.  Too big, the stuff will flop out; too small. the stuff will be hard to get out.  I started with a 4" tall opening.

 

I may trim some off the bottom edge of the baggage door sill.

 

My remote baggage door release is positioned so nobody can grab it in flight, and I can reach it standing in front of the wing.  I mounted it permanently in the fuselage so I wouldn't have to disconnect it when I needed to remove the interior panel.  I have a hole cut in my interior panel that lines up with the pocket around the T handle.
