I'm going to cut mine up into pieces to get a better fit over the rear seat wells. If it wasn't for that it would look stock. I'll probably just use some velcro on corners to hold it in place. I still need to install a rollbar so no point in gluing right now.

I emailed the folks at stockinteriors. They said I could order the carpet without any backing on it. I will probably end up doing that. I'm sure it will be a little heavier but it will last much longer than the ozite stuff.

You know I forgot to ask them for pricing. Since that backing is included in their standard price I don't think they will take any $$$ off if any. I just got a reply from them and they said it weights about 22lbs without the backing.
Just emailed them for pricing without backing I'll let you know what they say.

Cool man thanks!
Think I'm going to check hobby lobby tonight for that stuff mentioned above. The only worn spots mine will see is the front seats and I'll run mats there - no back seat so I'm not as worried about the stuff fraying/crapping out quick.

Oh well, I ordered ozite, gonna attempt to install it next week after I get the 6 pt in this weekend. Any tips of advice on install besides starting from the front and using adhesive on the floor and the carpet itself?

For the amount of weight you save with that light weight carpet I don't think its worth it. By the time you add the weight of glue, padding, ect.... I would think your close to the factory carpet weight. Anyone know what the factory carpet weight? I will be putting the factory carpet back in over the winter.
