Default 4.0RS carpet part number

Does anyone have the part number for the 4.0rs carpet. I've heard it's lighter and less sound deadening than standard 997 gt3 carpet.

Suncoast can look it up for you and order it.

I just checked PET, there is no 4.0-specific part in the carpet section anywhere, except for the badge in the back...

Interesting:

The bigger, brawnier engine isn't the sole secret to the latest GT3's performance. That isn't the German way. Weight reduction was paramount for Porsche, equipping the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 with carbon-fiber bucket seats, front fenders and luggage compartment lid, and lightweight carpet. Porsche states the GT3 RS 4.0 weighs in at 2998 lb

Like I said, call Suncoast. They can source the 4.0 specific carpet and yes it is different from the 3.8 carpet. Worth the difference?; probably not.

I shaved my GT2 carpets a while back. Filled a garbage bag full of the heavy rubberized foam insulation, right at 13 lbs worth. I am not sure how the 3.8 and 4.0 carpeting compares but I do know the GT2 and TT carpets are a different construction with the GT2 ones being lighter because the carpet portion is thinner. This is on a 996 but the carpets are the same between the 6 and 7.

Did anybody find a part number for this? Probably a lot of dollars just to save a few pounds but I'm curious to see how much it costs if available .
