more lightweight stuff - the 987 engine cover is a direct fit and MUCH lighter + gives your engine more breathing room.

if you want a stereo but not the weight, think about one of those rear speaker enclosures that mount over the engine. get one of those, one of the speaker kits sold on ebay, and a bluetooth amplifier (also cheap on ebay). allows you to pair with your phone, play music from your phone, control volume from you phone, etc. want you car lighter for the track - remove the speaker enclosure. a switch in one of those switch blanks on your centre console can turn it on/off. suncoast sells speaker blanks for your dash speakers.

another stereo option is to delete the head unit and use a cheap ebay ipod adaptor to connect direct to the amp in the frunk. you don't get fader control, but your phone has balance, volume, etc. wiring diagrams are on the mighty internet. the oem amp is designed to only turn on when it gets an input signal so no switches, etc., required.
