StewartB, Yeah, the fiberglass sheet looks nice when new, too.
I have one customer with the molded-fiberglass Cessna interior and I'm not a fan of the thing. It DOES tend to chip, etc., and if you have to put a hole in it for a seat attach point, etc. the chipping is even worse. I'd prefer even the Cessna OE interior to that new glass stuff. Kinze's interiors are definitely decent, thicker, tougher, yet a bunch of work to grind, fit, etc. . Everything's a compromise, EH???
Steve, Kydex is a plastic sheet available in numerous colors and thicknesses. It is probably a poly-ethylene plastic (anyone know for sure?). It takes a bend from a bending break and is quite tough and flexible. I haven't bought a sheet in maybe 6 years and don't remember the cost. One side is lightly textured, the other semi-glossy. I've always installed it texture-out.
