light wheels, cf hood and trunk, plexi rear window. there are a lot of ways to make your car lighter, but the question is how far you'r willing to go with this?

leave teh wife/gf at home
dump the spare wheel, back seats, shave emblems, remove windshields/windows/doors/hatch. take out every seat and add a milbox.
What are you trying to do would be helpful. Full out race car? dd? what can you live with vs live without?

Re: Wieght reduction??? (jhammond_82)
Not trying to go full blown race. Spare tire and AC have been removed. Have lighter rims. Im mainly concerned with lightening the back half of the car. Didnt know they offered a cf rear hatch, bet thats high priced. Thanks. And thanks for the parts list also.
