Re: Lightweight carpet installed The carpet is 6 feet wide I think and I bought a length of about 12 feet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Lightweight carpet installed Chris, did you weigh the carpet that you put in? I took all the backing off the stock carpet, and then cut it into 2 pieces, right where the stock rear seats would go. Now I can pull that out at the track, or at home.
Carpet weight went from 45 lbs to 25 lbs. and when I take out the back half for race use, I estimate the remaining carpet weighs no more than 10-12 lbs, and still get the stock look.
I'd like to see some pics of what you came up with.

Re: Lightweight carpet installed the entire piece of carpet (12feet by 6 feet) weighed less than 10 pounds hehe <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
I would guess with it all in the car trimmed and fitted it is around 8-9 pounds tops.
As for forming it I just sort of squished it into place as I went. Some people glue it but I didnt bother as I am doing a 5 point cage over the winter.
