My guess is that most places that sell race carpet (Year One and Speed Inc) actually source it from Ohio Auto Mat, which is also available through Summit. You may save yourself hassle by going straight to them...

There's a lot of dead weight under the carpet. Rubber insulation under the foot areas in front, the insulation pad on the rear hatch, etc.

I got my carpet from Wal-Mart and did it myself. The glue I used weighed more than the carpet.
