One additional item, many of the conversion kits have SMALL holes for the taillights to be seen, these do not work well plan on installing additional LED brake and turn signal lights.
Agreed here with the VillageTinker. I also have a refurbished 2017 I bought in 2018 and added, as an afterthought, the fold down rear seats, led’s are a must even without the seat. My only regret is not doing it right from the start of my rebuild so rear suspension has to be beefed up but most importantly the roof doesn’t extend over the rear seat and the cost was too much to replace roof. Advice is get the seat when you order the cart.
