In my last bracket street/strip car I had black aircraft carpet installed, it has no backing and fits the floor exactly, lightweight and burn proof

In the race car I dont have any.. didnt want the weight
but in the Rampage I had to go with the cheap stuff
and fit it because the floor is all different.. this
is before it was totally finished and cleaned up

We cut and sewed mine. Since the back seat was gone, wheel tubs, and large tunnel wouldn't fit. We glued it to the floor. My friend bound the edges around the tubes as well.

My floor is mostly flat. I used cheap carpet on the floor and covered the removable tunnel with vinyl to cut down on noise.

Gup, go on yellow billet in the chassis section or wherever, bob Andorra jay from NRC race cars can tell you where to get lightweight carpet , I'm pretty sure it's for speaker boxes

I don't remember the name of the avaition carpet supply wharehouse in SO CA now, sorry I had the local upholstery shop buy it for me, he did boats, cars , R.V. and household upholstery so he was able to get it at a small discount by buying a roll instead of buying a small piece to do my car Google it

My car is a street car so of course I use stock carpet. To me if your not out to set a record and need to save every pound then a nice carpet always helps have a nice interior. Course I did buy some Sport Fury floor mats. Ron
