I removed my rear seats. Now i want to cover up the whole rear by carpet, but I am having problem finding the carpet.

My ideal carpet material is the one that "LOOKS LIKE" our oem floor carpet OR oem trunk carpet; BUT, without the bottom cotton material as under the trunk carpet and without the "hard plastic material" under our oem floor mat.
Where would I be able to purchase one piece of carpet big enough to cover up both rear seat area and trunk area?

i know i am no help, but that sounds like a sucky job to me... plus isn't the whole reasoning behind taking out the seats, to lose weight? Carpet = weight.
just my opinion...

good luck man... if you complete it, post pics. would like to see

Where in Canada are you? I've seen some pretty ok stuff at Home Depot in the carpet area... I used some of their outdoor carpet (stuff for decks) in my last car. You can also get carpet for speaker boxes from some car audio stores.

a piece carpet is not that heavy. Plus, i dont mind few extra pounds for daily driving. I myself can lose a few pounds to compensate! hahahah.

I saw a DC2 with custom carpet covered over both trunk and rear seats using one piece. It looks really good, so I wanna do the same.

I was planning on totally re-doing the interior of the car this summer and I'm also interested in the ideal carpet.

how much do the back seats weigh?
