Look into Hydro Tuff for the floors. It's a stick on material that provides some cushion and heat relief I think. Done correctly I think this might really look good.

Bad part about that or bright white is that you will have to wear really dark sun glasses just to look at it in the summer. Fishing out of a reflector couldn't be much fun either.
