Price: $109.99 Pros: Easy to apply. Durable. Looks great Cons: Smells. The included gun has a little hole in the top and it is easy to spill a little out on your project if you aren't careful. Difficult to know which product includes the gun and which does not. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I put this on my grill, headlight bezels and interior. It was very easy to apply and appears to be quite durable. I let it cure for 48 hours before I attempted to reinstall my interior. Also, it is important to remove and masking tape within an hour of applying your last coat.
It took me one box and one extra bottle to do the complete project.
Spend double the amount of time prepping that you think you will need.

Price: $111.00 Pros: Ease of use, great end result, deec price Cons: you need to have an air compressor capable of maintaining at least 40 psi Recommended? Yes
Comments: With all of the DIY liners out there, its hard to tell the difference between the great, and the not so great. After seeing Herculiner, Monstaliner, Duplicolor, and U-Pol Raptor each in person, I knew that Raptor was the way to go. It doesnt fade, looks consistent, and has a great texture. Although the end result is 90% dependent on prep work, it doesn't hurt to have an awesome product. Props guys

Price: $100.00 Pros: Easy to apply with the included spray gun
Novice painters can provide a professional-looking finish
Appears to be durable, but not yet time-tested Cons: Hardens quickly inside the bottle; must apply entire bottle in single application or material will gunk up and block your spray gun Recommended? Yes
Comments: Product applied easily and covered well on the first coat. You would have to try real hard to mess up the application. This was my first attempt with a spray gun and I got a very nice professional finish. So good, in fact, I didn't reinstall the carpet. It dried quickly and was ready for additional coats within about 30 minutes. It looks great and appears to be durable, but you'll need to ask me in a year to see how it held up. One word of caution...once mixed with the hardener, the material thickens quickly. I had about half a bottle left after my second coat and let it sit for about 30 minutes to dry. When I tried to reapply to touch up some areas, the gun failed to work. The material had already gunked up in the bottle and clogged my spray gun. The remaining material was totally wasted and I have to dismantle the gun and clean with solvent before I could start again.

Price: $125.00 Pros: durable, looks good, easy to apply Cons: pain to prep for spray in. Also be prepared for more road noise and heat from the floor after you do this. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Raptor liner spray in bed liner is everything the other threads on this forum say it is. Sure it's a pain to prep for spray in - but the more prep you do the better the end result. My biggest problem was getting the trox screws out of the roll cage mounts. Ended up grinding about 1/2 of them down on the sides and using vise grips on the sides. Spray in was easy with the included undercoating gun, but you do NOT want to get this stuff anywhere other than the tub of your jeep. Of course, the floor is now hotter and louder than with the carpet and pad, but it's a Jeep  Plus is sure is easier to clean now

Price: $100.00 Pros: looks better, protects the tub when the carpet is out Cons: prep is the key, take your time Recommended? Yes
Comments: Much better looking than the bare tub when I take the carpets out in the non-winter months. Prep work is important. I didnt do it as well as I should have so I occasionally need to touch up spots that chip off after a hard hit. Dont tip the gun when spraying with a full bottle, it will spill out.
Overall, I love it.

Price: $104.00 Pros: Easy install, great finish Cons: None. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I love this product. I made the mistake of trying to use up the left over by thicking up some high traffic areas (mostly the floor pans). I dont think that was a good idea. It cracked in one area where I put it on real thick. I also could have done a poor prep job in that area, but who knows.... Still think it was a great product, I think the problem was my fault. The good news is that with the rough texture finish I can fix and blend my repair in very well.
I only used three of the four bottles that came with the kit. Had I known that, I would have had some other projects prepped and ready to be sprayed (wheel wells, frame undercoat, etc.).

Price: $87.89 Pros: easy to put in. Nice and solid once it cures Cons: Smells nasty Recommended? Yes
Comments: Take your time masking. Makes all the difference. And do not put in seats until it is fully cured (about 3 days). It is easy to pull up until its cured.

Price: $115.00 Pros: Easy to mix, easy to spray, durable, great spray pattern Cons: Kind of smelly but goes away after about 2 weeks. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I was reading the threads across the forum about the Upol Raptor liner and decided this was the one I wanted to go with. I purchased it on ebay and had it at the door within a week. It came with easy to follow directions, I used 60psi to spray the liner in with. I put the seats back in 2 days later. I've had it in for about 3 weeks now and it is still a tad smelly in the jeep but I'm sure it will be completely gone soon. Good product overall and would recommend to all

Price: $110.00 Pros: Very Very Easy to use Cons: Non So far Recommended? Yes
Comments: Prep work is the key. I spent approx 15 hours sanding and cleaning and then another 3 hours taping and laying plastic. The first bottle went ALOT quicker than I realized. Adjusted the air pressure a little on each additional bottle and it seemed to last alot longer. I would recommend using a measuring cup for the hardening agent. I like to cook so eyeballing something isn't an issue, but pouring a clear liquid into black goo in a black bottle concerned me.
In all the finished product looks amazing. Well worth it...IMO.
