Trying to keep the race weight down looking for light weight molded carpet for 4th gen camaro, what are you guy using?

 

I bought Speed Inc's lightweight molded carpet. Not bad at all.

 

I bought pep boys carpet, its takes more time and glue to make fit but its only 4.5 lbs vs stock 35lbs, I think the speed ink is about 15lbs, maybe heavier, it to is molded like stock, I have the pep boys and there are a few rinkles in it, but most people don't see it, I think you can get the same carpet I have at O'Rileys

 

the pep boys is molded though? whats it valued at?

 

I have seen the speed inc carpet, it's nice and fits well, but you can ozite a car for about 1/4 the weight of the speed inc carpet, and if you take your time it will come out good.

I've done several cars now, and all of them have come out good, each one getting better.

I get the ozite from yourautotrim.com, the 80 inch wide stuff so I can use one piece for the entire width of the car. Just slice and pie cut out where the flaps are, and it sorks pretty good.

 

You can but the pep boys, same as Ozite for $25!!

 

I got the speedinc. And very happy with it. I posted some info and pics, new and installed on my build thread

Its 3/4 lenght (stops at the top edge up tp the hatch flat) So you need to cover that top parts witch is easy with some really light stuff that dosn't have to mold. Its molded and fits very nice, has a molded/sewed heel pad. That I really wanted to have being a M6 car. I dont run a floor mat, the spenda/ortize stuff is very light duty, and starts to fluff, and fall apart from wear. I don't htink it was that much I think I paided like $160 shipped? there was a sale on them, when I called about it I didnt see posted on here. Its nice too you can remove it easy and it gose right back in, Ive taken it out a few times. To do welding, and cutting on the car, and to get the car as light as possably for the good DA end of the year, so that was nice, then having the glued in ortize I could see.
Its comes soild in the middle so if you don't want to run the concel it looks alot better. It was 12.9#'s with the padding under it, soild. I cut some out under the shifter, concel, the top middle to fit it under the dash. A few inches along the side, but left it big that gose over the rear wheel wells, under the rear arm rest panels. To help with some noise hopfully. But if you wanted you could get it a few pounds lighter. I gutted my stock carpet and it was only like 8-9#'s removed, still 25#s I blive and just as loud as the speed inc. so I wouldnt bother with that unless, its in your buget for a "free" mod.

 

thanks guys i think im going with speed inc.

 

looks good im going to order mine from speed inc. what color did you order is that graphite??or grey

 

Ozite in my car, works awesome. DAP weldwood contact cement to hold it down. http://www.yourautotrim.com/80wideozite.html

 

Guys, please keep the for sale stuff out of the thread.

The DAP is good under your feet... I wouldn't do the whole car with that though, if you have to take the carpet out (like I am for the 3rd time LOL) it's NEVER going to come out.

I'm really not looking forward to it this time, with the dap in there, it's gonna be a pita. I have a feeling, a heat gun, putty knife and some type of solvent is going to be needed, hopefully it doesn't eat paint

 

i have to get some carpet over the winter, how many yards are you guys buying of the ozite..

 

4 or 5 if you are going to reuse the factory trunk liner, if you want to do the trunk area too, get 6. If you're worried that you may make a mistake, get the 5, the extra may come in handy for a patch up if needed.

 

I used the pepboys in mine turned out pretty good, only cost me like $40 to do the whole car and weighs next to nothing.

 

we dont have pep boys or oreillys around us..wonder if autozone or advance sells the same thing??

 

autozone does, whtas what I used. i think it took 4 rolls and as siad above it doesnt weigh much. The only real problem Ihad was in the holes where the rear seats used to be. But loks good overall. I also used the stock trunk carpet
