Looking for lightweight carpet
Wow, I haven't posted here in almost 4 years!
My '96 Z28 is no longer a daily driver, and I've taken out the back seats and center console. I'd like to get some black lightweight carpet that fits decently well, and most importantly is UNCUT so I can just make a small hole for my shifter.
For those of you that have aftermarket carpet, how much did it weigh? Did it come pre-cut?
I'm considering Ohio Auto Mat carpet, since Summit sells it and I have a gift card there that expires in a few days. But if the quality is awful I will just buy something else and wait on the carpet.
Thanks for the info!

So you took out the center console and rear seats to save weight and you want carpet??? Axe the carpet and save the weight! Just commit to making your car anorexic and shave all the weight you can.

I don't know if I want to go that far.
It might be stripped down, but I wouldn't mind having some kind of interior in the thing...
