Unless this is a race car, why would you remove the carpet? I dont think the "weight savings" is worth it. What happens when people ride in your car? You really want to pick up a girl for a night out with no carpet? lol We dont drive civics man, no need to start takin the interior out to go fast 
Just buy yourself a new mod. I am sure anything you do to it will make it faster than removing the carpet by itself!

why would it heat up? I could always open up those rubber gromet plugs a little more for more air circulation. Was thinking of takeing out all the carpet and leaving just a little sound deadening at the engine side and the exhaust side

It wouldnt be so bad if you just took the material underneath out and put the carpet back in. You would lose some weight and keep a clean look. You would still have to deal with the heat but its not that bad.
