Yes, but a negative weight? Your car weighs 3,000 pounds. You remove something that weighs 7 pounds, so now your car weighs 2,993 pounds. You then install a replacement item of that thing you removed, and now your car weighs 2,992 pounds? Is that new trunklid just a really large helium balloon?

I mean, I can understand you remove a 7 pound trunklid and replace it with a 3 pound trunklid, effectively changing your overall weight from 3,000 to 2,996 pounds. But to install something and that thing making the car one more pound lighter...

If you go back to the quote, it says the new decklid is 8 pounds lighter than the 7 pound decklid. That would mean the new decklid is lighter than air or not affected by gravity. I know I must be missing a key piece of information here.
