Who drives a stripped interior daily?

I'm doing a J32-S Swap in a Civic and I want to strip the interior. What are the negatives on this besides road noise.

Some think it looks bad it depends on your preference... You aren't really going to get any performance benefit...

I had my car fully stripped but I put most of the stuff back in now. I just don't have the back seats in. It does get significantly louder though...

Just do it if you want to do it. Don't get mad though when you don't notice a difference in performance...

HatI drive a completly stripped hatch and that's just cause the kid I bought it from thought that having a stripped interior would make him go fast...its pretty loud without interior but ehh it all depends on what you want

I'm not really looking for performance gains, we all know what 100 lbs.+ less interior stuff will do for you. But I was just wondering what I could expect like how loud it would be, or maybe there are more pronounced sounds, squeeks, who knows. Pros and cons. Keep them coming.

I know that moisture accumulation is a big problem here in Canada, a big contributor to premature rusting. Maybe the lack of interior would keep a consistent temperature throughout the car and body, preventing moisture build up? Thoughts?
