stockinteriors.com is where I got mine it was I wanna say 8 lbs or so and its pre formed for your car. Don't quote me on the 8 lbs ,but its way lighter than the stock 35 lb carpet I pulled out.

First off Tim, your car is bad ***!

Now, did that include carpet for the rear area? Howabout if the car is mini-tubbed, how do you think it would work?

Yes they offer the rear piece too. For mini tubs I'm sure you would want to trim it to make it look perfect. Its very nice carpet also.

I got some stuff from hancock fabric over on noland rd. It is close to the same material as headliner. Might be worth checking out. They had lots of other styles as well.

Be sure to go in with some chick so it doesn't look as gay.

my plan was to take out the stock carpet, lay the new carpet over it and trim it. which i'm sure that was what most of you have done or doing.

3 rolls of Ozite and a couple bottles of spray glue did the trick for me. My stock carpet weighed more than 35 lbs, I'll have to verify as it felt more like 50+ when I removed it.
