well got all the sound deadening off and even went as far as to cut as much of the plastic out from under the dash as i could with an exacto knife. probly found more weight under there than on the carpet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

anything im forgeting before i throw the carpet back in?

just weighed it, not quite as much as i thought. i only took out 25 lbs and most of that was the plastic and not the sound deadening <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
