I have Hot Head and I like them.

 

overall how much of a difference did they make with heat, cold, and noise?

I have the Rugged Ridge and its a lot cooler inside and quitter! I just did a write-up on it too

Love my Boom mat liners. Look good, great sound improvement from the stereo, can run louder volume without sounding brash. Great thermal performance. No chance of adhesive failing as whole surface is sticky.

 

I have boom mats in a black unlimited. I can't say for sure how much they help (put them in soon after purchasing) but I never have that 'hard to breathe' syndrome when getting inside in the middle of summer. The hottest I have driven it in this year was about 97. It's still hot inside. They fit perfectly.

 

I think it helps a lot! You don't get that radiant heat from the roof. And Jeeps are just loud. Probably helps with that too, but I really notice that it stays cooler.

 

I have the Hotheads & it made a very noticeable difference on the inside temps out here in the Az. heat.

I have used Hot Head headliners in my '08, '12 and '15 JKUs. I spend a lot of time in the local desert and they make as much as a 20 degree difference on hot days. They also lower the road noise levels a good deal and make your radio sound better - but that may be just me. Most of all, Hot Head has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I highly recommend them. DF

 

What about price vs quality? Can you guys let us know what you paid for the headliner? It seams that they are worth having it on. Thank you, I appreciate the info.
