Thats a huge weight difference since the full set I have with the rubber backing was over 40lbs out of the box. I guess I'll order the shorter version, cant beat losing 20lbs for 140.00..

I was confused on this so I called. They said the full length carpet was 16 lbs. Can anyone else confirm this?

Its possible, but I talked to ACC directly (the people who make the carpet) and they said they will not sell the full length F-body without the rubber backing any more but the convertible carpet (the shorter one) they do.

Maybe speedinc is getting it from another carpet company now or ACC started selling it again w/o the rubber backing.

I was thinking about using truck bed liner (Line-X, Rhino-Lining) on the inside of my camaro. I hate seeing wrinkles in my carpet and dont want to glue it down...

my thoughts exactly, and it would fit great and no trimming!
maybe even throw a couple floor mats in for street driving i dont think youd hardly even notice.

thats the exact part number you bought? at 12-13 lbs that seems to be best route.
you bought the full length one right, with rear hatch area

I bought the stockinteriors.com carpet and it definitely weighs more than 13 lbs. I'm thinking I should have went with SpeedInc instead.

Where have you guys been able to find the ozite carpet at? I have been looking and I dont know where I can find it at? Also around how much would it cost for glue and everything? I need to get this stuff ordered as soon as possible. thanks in advance.
