personally I think they made it too complicated - you have to bring your car to florida to get it fitted. I would rather a fg shell that fastens at the spinlocks and rear trunk latch and that's it. still waiting.

for weight, seats are a good one. beware the cheap knockoff seats. without some form of certification (ie, fia) you are taking a chance with a very important piece of safety gear.

if you do a bumper delete, better figure out how you tow your car if you need too (tow hooks screw into the bumper).

LW battery will get you 20 lbs or so. you know those braille batteries they sell on suncoast? they are just rebranded deka batteries; check out the deka etx14 and an $8 terminal kit (take care on which side the +'ve terminal is - you can get either). and forget expensive custom battery brackets; another $8 at any autoparts store will get you a universal bracket that fits.

air conditioning pump weighs 20 lbs or so.

oz allegheritta wheels (sp?) are relatively inexpensive, look excellent (really fill out the wheel wells) and save a minimum of 5 lbs rotating mass at each corner.

secondary air injection pump is light, but removing it gets rid of 50% of the hoses cluttering up the top of the engine (the other 50% is that f'ing aos ...).

take a dump before you drive and get titanium fillings in your teeth. good for a few more pounds.
