Re: Light Weight Carpet I know that "Tom The Roofer" removed his stock carpet and went with a boat carpet or something like that. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> We haven't heard much from him in a while. I think he saved like 14 lbs. or something like that. I'll have to do some searching.

Re: Light Weight Carpet I've seen some that was ultra light but not form fitted and would take some work to make it fir well.
I can't recall off-hand where Tom got his, but for some reason I think he went to a auto upohlstry shop ( could be wrong ), best to ask him direct.

Miami Rubber, Agate 8275 for the ebony interior like in my Formula. 18oz per sq yard. The local trim shop wants $19.95/yd. I'm waiting for a buddy with some contacts to see if he can get it cheaper. I called Miami Rubber and they won't sell to the public.
The carpet has just a bit of rubber backing to keep it from tearing easily. It's going in my car this winter. Take care.

Re: Light Weight Carpet I found a place in WI that could do it, OEM style, many colors, and about 6 lbs. All fitted.
www.LS1speed.com has the info, email Tom, but be warned it's gonna be like $200 for the carpet... I'm holding off for now, one of my buddies is supposed to get one very soon, I want to see how it fits.
