Weight savings from LW carpet? Does anyone have the weight savings on LS1Speeds carpet sets.Last I heard it was 16lbs lighter?I'm thinking the carpet and a Forza II could net me a total of 25lbs easy...
Hey I'm trying to get to 3450,I need 70 more off the car.
I could cut off my head/ego and really save weight but I'd rather do it the safe way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Weight savings from LW carpet? JS if you cut your ego you might fall below the 3200# weight limit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I saved ~30# taking out my stock carpet/insulation and putting in $10 home depot carpet. Looks nice too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Weight savings from LW carpet? I think you'll save around 30#'s like Terry said <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,

ps- I am looking into the same thing. I was also looking at summits plastic race seat with sliders and padded cover too.
Only 100.00 bucks and it weighs next to nothing.
That should save another 20 pounds and not look too bad.
That with hawker battery, !front bumper support and lighter carpet is almost 100 pounds. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
