Only con for me is the floor feels somewhat warmer but a good set of mats help with that. Its super easy to clean and thats big if you like to wheel with top and doors off. Looks better as well if you ask me.

Tub gets hot but with mats I don't notice. Easy cleanup and no smelly carpet. I love mine.

You can tell your GF that all bugs don't like it and it's a repellant, so there won't be any creepy crawlers for when she gets in........ lol

Sure enough are there any cons other than the heat. I can get a free kit to do mine just can't decide if its worth the labor haha.

Labor is easy, just take out the seats, sand, wash, and paint. It's worth it. There aren't really any cons. Pros= easier to clean, easier to keep clean (different from it being easy to clean), good looks, no water retention like carpet, and if you remove the sound deadener goop from the tub it is completely sealed and thus helps prevent rust! So what if the floor is a little warm? I would think of it as a plus if you lived somewhere cold, and if not you can still put your feet on it. I say go for it man!! Have fun doing it.

Here's a tip! The overspray is too much. What I mean is that the material is thick, not a fine mist. Therefor, there is no need to go crazy with plastic to cover EVERYTHING. It sorta spits out goop, so no need to worry about paint mists messing up your roll bars and such.

It's a lot of work but worth it.

I don't notice any heat but I always run topless.

Overspray isn't bad but be careful. It's best to go safe with this one.

Maybe a little bit more noisey ? Since your losing the sound deadening stuff.

I'm in GA, and I'll take that kit off your hands if you don't want to go through with it
