    On my last ES, I went with "Ultraleather" for the side panels, headliner, etc., but stuck with real leather for the seats.  There's just nothing quite like the real stuff for look and feel.  I also didn't think the seat stitching would be as strong in the Ultraleather, and my upholstery guy confirmed that.
     If you use a shop that's used to doing custom cars and that sort of thing, you really have to stay on top of them to make sure the foam underlay is aircraft-grade material that passes all the flammability tests.  The foam normally used in cars and boats does not pass muster.  (Food for thought when you're driving on the ground.)
