The car sounded horrible. It did not sound sporty at all. Those 5-10lb carpets make a huge difference in how good the engine sounds.
I thought of replacing front spare tire with Fix-a-flat spray, but idk how it effects my rim when trying to get a new tire? Has anyone used fix-a-flat? And I believe there are only 2 or 3 aftermarket rims for this car that are actually lighter than stock rims unfortunately.

Haha well then take the weight from some where else :P Also, fix-a-flat is supposed to work if you also carry a bike pump and tire pressure gauge with you. The tire will still be flat after you fix the hole unless you reinflate it... But in reality, just get insurance that provides "free" towing. Tow it back to your house, take the tire to be fixed in another vehicle, call it good.
Flats are so rare, that i don't think the 20lb spare tire is worth it..... I've never had one, just avoid pot holes....
But the carrera 5 spoke wheels weigh A LOT less than the turbo twists that come with most boxsters...
