Lightweight carpet
i bought mine from a local auto parts store (they are in the ZONE!).. it was like 35 bucks for 2 or 3 rolls of black carpet.. its VERY light.. im going to take my stock carpet out and the sound deadening and put it in.. i think its actually more like 30lbs difference.. but i could be wrong.

I got a 6x9 roll of black spectra carpet from pep boys.. Goes well with ebony and is light and cost 24.99 for the roll. Has a better backing than ozite (which I did find at wal mart for 8.88 for a 3x6 roll btw.)

I had the stock carpet with the sound deading removed, I will weigh the 2 and post the differences, actually will sell the stock carpet if anyone is interested (w/the sound deading removed) it has the holes cut though for a Wolf 6pt. Anyone interested PM me, Its the dark color ebony?
id just go to lowe's home depo or somewhere and get that indoor/outdoor carpet dont weigh much at all and is cheap thats what i doing to mine since its only going to be a track car
I just bought the "lightweight" carpet from speed inc. I went to put it into the car, and seen that the fitment is ****. It only goes up t the top of the rear passenger seat area, not all the way over the rear hump area, like stock. So know im goin to have to find someay to cover that too. Anyone else have this problem, i will post pictures up tommarow of the fitment. I hope its not just me
The 'old' lightweight carpet (made by ACC) you can no longer buy, the 'new' ACC carpet now has a rubberized backing that cant be removed and weighs about the same as stock with all the stock padding attached.
It lays down a lot better though than the 'old' lightweight carpet..
Stock carpet with all attached padding = 35lbs on my scale.
ACC carpet (all the way to the T-top well) = 43lbs out of the box, 35 lbs trimmed to fit and the jute pulled off.
So if you are looking to save weight that isnt the way, ozite and spray glue are your ony choice for lightweight carpet nowadays I guess..
