Nope I haven't noticed anything different from it

Yeah of course you can still use 'em. That's the awesome part about it.. You can just wash your Jeep out instead of having to deal with the terrible carpet!!

Wished I lived closer, would pay you in a heartbeat to do that, haha.

Looks great, want to do this later in the summer.

Did you have to do anything special to remove the seats or do they come out without any problems?

What did you use to scuff the paint?

There's 4 bolts holding in each seat. 8 bolts total. The front bolts unscrew a lot easier than the back ones. Took some work to get the back bolts out, but I finally got them with some help from a cheater bar. Of course the back seat just folds down and you press the bar to get the front part of it out. I used sandpaper to scuff up the paint. Pretty sure it was 180 grit.

Oh yeah and if you ever make a trip down south, let me know and I'll herculine your JK! Haha definitely wouldn't mind some gear money

This definitely makes me want to go the Herculiner route.

Is it abrasive? How long does it take to dry after applying? I saw you wrote you waited 3 hours between coats, but how long to dry fully?

Great looking job man! Just awesome!

Yeah it's pretty abrasive. My friend got in the car and accidently rubbed her leg against the side wall by the center console and said "Ow it hurts!" Haha it was pretty funny. I let mine sit over night so I'm not sure the exact time it took for it to cure. If I remember correctly, the kit said 6-8 hours after the second coat..? Could be wrong though.

Oh and thanks for the compliments guys!

I am using monsterliner on my four door. Got everything torn out but the center console. Any know how to get it out? Got it loose but trying to get the 4x4 shifter off -- don't quite know how it comes apart...
