    Caution! Possible craziness ahead!

    My first idea is get my floor shifter installed and my c-4 built up and all the wiring done in my car (stereo and such then laying down some dyno-mat type insulation on my floor and then rhino-lining it and leaving it like that, because I hate carpet it gets dirty and smelly and I hate cleaning it. Rhino line I figure I can just wipe everything off

    After that I was thinking about my headliner it's sagging and stuff so I figured why not get my overhead lights installed like I want them, then rhino line that too and leave it. Will this work? Do you guys think it will look ok and adhere to the ceiling? I figure it will be simpler then getting and installing a new one

    While I was thinking about doing this I was also thinking about finding an old BMW radio antenae (the ones on the roof) and wiring it down to my radio so that I could use the stock radio antenae location for my CB radio antenae so it will look kinda stock. Any opinions?

    My last and final thought was this. What if I por-15 all the underside of my car get my exhaust sytem all set up then rhino line that too (except for the exhaust tubing. Then cut some sheet metal to fit the under side all of it and bolt it to the bottom of my car like the old Nissans had don't know the technical name kinda like sacrificial metal for my underbody, protects the entire drive train (anyone know what it's called) I thought maybe it would even stiffen the body if I get it thick enough?

    Just some crazy ideas I've been mulling over all opinions are welcome if you think I'm crazy and will be wasting my time please feel free to tell me :thumbs2: Cuz even I think they're kinda crazy thanks :Handshake

    Sounds like a Mad Max Maverick in the works. Why not if your name's on the title! You'd be the only one in your zip code with anything like it! :rolleyes:

    If it's the thinner roll on stuff, I don't see why not. If it's the real deal Rhino-liner, it's thick and weighs quite a bit. I have a friend that had Line-X sprayed on the entire exterior of his Lexus SUV and it added something like 300lbs. It was truly unique tho :biglaugh:

    My only concern would be how well the rhino lining would stick to the foil of the dynomat. They make sound deadening paint which you could use on the floor and then rhino for the the roof.

    I would get a price on getting the...Rhino liner...sprayed on first, that alone may answer that question.

    im going to comment on the c4 and wiring and what not..... i think getting a fllor shifter and rebuild the c4 is a good idea.... i found a hurst rachet shifter and made my own bracket for the cable and it works awesome. oh and the ceiling, if i were going to do any type of painting there i would strip it all and just got with black so you dont weigh down to much. i could see rhyno stuff on floors but not many other places
