Default light weight carpet options? pepboys?

just got back from the scale. and doing some planning for winter break. looking to drop about 600lbs off the car - 98 ws6. i figured ill start from inside out(mostly because out = lightweight mods/money)

i found this from my search

http://www.yourautotrim.com/black7.html

but that can get pricey and was looking some more and found someone mention pepboys. unfortunately i could not find the spectra carpet but found kraco value 1

https://www.pepboys.com/product/details/8593018/00847

^ is that the light weight carpet?

is there other sources that you guys use?

I plan to put light mats on top for drive and passenger side. rear seats rarely gets used.

inputs welcome

Ive installed that kind of carpet in vehicles. Never cared for it. I'm running Speed Inc carpet now @ about 10 pounds and its a molded back.
