Want to loose weight in a civic/crx
Loose the door impact beams and seatbelts for harnesses.
loose the heavy heavy stock seats.
get rid of or make custom or use hf front and rear metal bumpers.
sunroof plug.
ac
heater
keep all the plastics and look "full interior"
all the plastic in the car weighs less then the front seats.

good lookin (kid-honda) thats some good info because i put my sshit back because my car looked too mint to leave that **** out when all the plastic didn't weigh ****. how much lighter are hf metal bumbers. i took mine out for a while but didn't like it cause it sagged a little bit. (no rear bumber) just bumber cover.

I am not sure of the exact hf weight but you can easily make your own bumpers.
Just make a short bar out of aluminium that is about 27 inches long to mount the 3 middle plastic bumper bolts to and she will be light weight with no sag.
