We do not have the original light weight carpet, but have been selling a lot of the molded sets now. The customers have been happy with the fit and with the padding removed it is pretty much with a lb or two of the original non molded light weight stuff we had before.

I used speaker box enclosure carpeting, it was a little bit of work but extremely light.

Is this new molded carpet sold without holes? That would be great for us guys with no rear seat and a roll bar.

I bought this kit and could not be more pleased. It's looks compleatly stock and weighs about 1/5 of the stocker. You do have to do some triming and cut holes so take your time and follow directions.
