Wow that's actually really good. Aside from adding an Optima battery, I don't see where you could drop that much weight. My GT3 seats probably shaved more but that required spending quiet a bit of money and weight savings wasn't the goal.

I don't have a glove box so my shelf is the only place to store things should the trunks lock me out. I keep a Cobra jump start battery there and some spare fuses. As far as sound, those speakers are not worth their weight. LOL.

Yup I'd be in for one as well. But something tells me he dropped the idea due to price. I wouldn't expect this kit to come cheap. These panel in the 1/4" thickness (genuine engineered lexan anyway) are not all that cheap :/ add the rubber seals, bolt kits, ouch.

Let's hope this comes back to life
