Ive got some Year One carpet in my garage. Its brand new. I did have to cut it for my to point. so it has 3 cuts in it. I wasnt happy with the fit/finish so I replaced it with stock carpet with the backing removed. If anyone is interested in it shoot me a PM.

I want to know more about the stock carpet, backing removal.
Any tricks, any downsides, how much weight did you scrape
off? The back part of 'verts, you couldn't get from Speed Inc.
even when they were selling their version.

so year one is the only place to get lightweight carpet? i looked on their site and could only find the normal stuff. i need to get a replacement cuz my carpet is screwed up on the drivers side and would like to replace it but i would rather spend an extra bit on lightweight stuff than just a replacement.
Someone could make a killing if they just came out with a thin carpet that had no backing at all that was actually molded to fit our cars... it seems like every time I turn around someone is looking for LW carpet, and noone sells a decent replacment that fits right.... if I had the means to do it, I'd be all over it.
Here's my 2 cents.....If you want a molded direct fit type of carpet it's never going to get much lighter than the stock carpet with the jute backing removed. ANY molded carpet will have a stiff rubber type backing to make it moldable and therefore will be just as heavy as stock. If you are truely worried about those last 2-3 pounds, I think you'll want to look at something called "Ozite" or "Flex form". This is the stuff used to cover seat backs, speaker boxes, etc. It's about $11/yard on a 80" roll usually, about 1/4" think, is somewhat flexible with a soft backing and I've seen it in black, tan, blue, red and gray. Call your local auto trim/upholstey supply place to get it.
I just re-carpeted my race car with the stuff and it cost me about $40, looks almost identical to cut pile carpet and weighs about 5-8# for 4 yards.
I'm no carpet expert or anything, but I've recently searched all over for new carpet and this seems to be the best/cheapest/lightest stuff going....oh, and I did stay at a holiday inn express last night too. LOL.
