Regular carpet set only weighs 25 pounds, so weight savings isn’t gonna amount to much getting something lighter that will probably look cheezy

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I've spent considerable time trimming that much out of a car. Those cars typically have to weigh 3300 + pounds(Abody small blocks). They sometimes carry extra weight to get there. Sure, stock carpet is 25 pounds, but whatever you replace it with doesn’t weigh zero, it weighs something. I wouldn’t think carpet is bad weight compared to other things.

Home Depot indoor/outdoor I believe it was 6x8 roll. My wife made patterns with brown masking paper. Then transposed it to the carpet. Cut out pieces. Trim around roll bar. Affix with carper tape and Velcro as needed. Lite weigh and looks great. That looks VERY nice! Great Job! I ended up using the carpet they put on speaker boxes. Very thin, very lightweight, BUT, very easy to damage. My heel wears a hole in it at least once a season. I like your idea and will go with this stuff next time. -Dave
