Just got my ozite in today. The roll bars should be painted by the weekend, so I should be installing carpet next week.

Oh well hopefully come spring I will have 100lbs out of the car and it will hardly be noticed, except a little extra road noise and hopefully improved ET's and handling!
I have added a lot of weight to the car, 6 pt roll bar, 12 bolt, sub frames torque arm, twin disk clutch, strut brace, SFI bell housing, steel drive shaft, 3/4" thicker head, bigger crank, etc etc. I need to get this thing on a scale.
Only thing removed is the back seat.

The only reason I put the 6 pt in is the track tossed me and I only play at the track.

The 6 pt should stiffen the car enough to where the sfcs are just added weight, you can always take them out and see if you can tell a difference, but i think the decreased weight will be more beneficial then the possibly extra stiffness from the sfc's.

Where is the Ozite purchased from?
I'm gonna have to
on this thread for a while.
I just went through some **** to try and clean up my carpet.
Anyone know where to get OEM mats? Looking for nothing on them or maybe SS.
SLP is just not my style.

anyone get this stuff yet and get it installed? I wanna order it, but I want to see it installed to make sure it fits right first.....
Someone that's got it (thread starter) please post up some pic's...
If this stuff is as light as you say and fits, these guys should have given you yours, you are gonna sell a ton of their stuff for them!
