i think the light gray would look great (i have the inside of my hard top light gray, looks great!). line-x has DuPont™ KEVLAR® in it and it helps with any fading. one year in las vegas and my hard top looks like new. i tried to find the guy who line-xed his white jk with white line-x, but i could not find it.

 

What about the noise? I know the carpet helps quite a bith with the noise. When I take out the carpet to dry, it is MUCH louder on the highway, especially. Does the Linex (or other) help with this? What do you think about Premium 1?

 

in regards to the removal of the heat shield/sound deadening material....whatever they are calling it this week......I am chiseling mine out, I think that it looks much better......just my 2 cents thought.....

Do what you want, from what I have read, it's not noticeable - noise or heat wise - after you get the Line-x in.

But, it's not fun getting that stuff out

 

For the noise- i can here the exhaust a little more but i like the sound of my flowmaster so its okay- I can also here the shifter shifting gears and what not a lot more but it doesn't bother me.. you get use to it. I love my rhino lining

 

Noise will depend on who you go with. Line-X is harder, but thinner so it will not insulate from noise. Rhino is a little thicker, and softer so will absorb noise a little better. Don’t mistake “softer” for not durable; polyurethane as used in Rhino will be way beyond what you could do to it on the inside of a Jeep. My opinion is Line-X is overkill for an interior, but some like that.

 

I went with black Speedliner on my yellow JK. Cost was $500 and all I did was remove the carpet and rear seat (permanently). Dealer removed the front seats, belts, center console, and all the plastic trim. I'm happy with the results.

That price is almost as bad as a prison rape scene.


Umm....not even close to a factual statement. Whoever told you this has their head up their azz.

 

Speedliner is not a hard DIY project if you have a 3.5hp or larger air compressor and a ~$40 gun. Speedliner will also sell the public/become a dealer...if someone wants to try spraying this product in their Jeep I can help walk you through the process from start to finish in my sleep (I make a product shall we say very similar to Speedliner but I'm not a vendor here nor do I have any intent of selling on here).

Speedliner is designed to be 'cold sprayed' meaning it doesn't need a $10,000 heating mixing spraying machine to apply the product. The downside is its not cured in a minute like the heated products....you can untape it in 45-60 min, lightly walk on it 8-12 hrs and abuse it in 48-72 hrs.

Keep in mind its not designed to be brushed on like DIY'er uncatalyzed paint type bedliners found at the auto parts store.

 

I think think you are just misreading what Kevlar does in that statement.


l
The bold is absolutely a false statement. Kevlar when used in a bedliner is used for tear resistance. It has absolutley zero effect on UV stability.

 

Good info. Yep, I had a "curing odor" for about three days after I had it sprayed. Seriously though, for the $200-$300 it cost me to have it professionally done VS trying to do it myself, it was worth it to me (not to mention the time and equipment investment that would have been involved). DIY is great....if you want the experience, can't afford a professional, have plenty of free time, etc. Some things I DIY. Some things I use a Pro.
