some other ideas - front and rear bumpers are heavy (and removing the rear bumper lets you do the cool bsr vent in the back) - go spec racing (gsr) make lightweight front and rear bumpers (w tow hooks) if you want some reinforcement there. gsr are also a good place to shop if you want to do the electric power steering thing (but just by the specialty parts there; you can get the actual electric pump cheap on ebay uk).
you might find the molded carpet funny with the insulation removed (air gaps) - might also affect the space btw the floor and the gas pedal - there are currently some rennline track mats for sale on rennlist that would sort that out.
i like the idea re the trunk latch for the rear tonneau cover. i was thinking just some rubber straps for an old-school roadster look. another idea i'd had but can't find a bodywork guy to do it (you might have more resources available to you than i do up here) is to combine the tonneau and rear trunk lid into one panel. get a fiberglass tonneau cover and one of those techart (or copy) rear trunk lids without the third brake light and extended to cover the spoiler. join them into one panel - now to raise the roof you just have to pop the rear trunk lid. allows you to remove - third brake light, rear spoiler, rear trunk hinges, roof mechanisms. also gets rid of a lot of busy trim lines on the back of the car.
door panels. search ebay uk (9apart is a good vender). porsche sold cars in the uk that didn't have air bags or stereos, so you can get door panels (they call them door cards) that are really light. remove the door pocket lids and add some pull straps and you have a true OEM rs-style door panel.
finally, i TOTALLY agree we need someone to make a ducktail for our cars. something that would fill the gap made when you remove the heavy oem spoiler.
