I plan on doing to Walmart route soon. I did a search and posted a while back. And if you want to most wieght loss. The walmart will be the way. I'm sure the Speed inc. stuff is nicer quality. But for wieght and price, you can't beat it.

Like to see more pics, and glue options.

I'm still curious, how much weight is saved (SpeedInc, Walmart.....whatever), roughly, over stock?

I just bought some Home Depot carpet and spent right at 40 bucks. Me and my buddy went to install it and after about 6 hours spent and all the wrinkles and over/under cutting, just decided to screw it and strip the padding off my stock carpet and reinstall that. Too much of a headache unless you know what your doing IMO.

I was just looking for some closer up pictures. Possibly around the area where you mated two peices together. And just close ups of any area really. I'm just curious if it looks factory or not. Thanks!

i just used one big 10 foot by 6 foot piece. so i didn't join any pieces. as for the console delete i just mounted my shifter, cut a hole in the fabric and put it around the shifter. i do need to reglue the spots right behind the seats though i think they came unglued due to the heat from my exhaust.

I just did this and all the padding etc plus a few misc plastic peices from the seats added up to about 18lbs, I never though about using Home Depot or Wal Mart carpet until this thread though. Even after removing all that stuff the stock carpet did feel heavy still.
