keep the teg mann... don't cross over to the hatchbacks.

**you will probably shave off about 300lbs.(going from and gsr<2600lbs.> to a cx/dx<2300lbs.> model)

it's somewhere around those figures.

I think he means the rear hatch on an integra.

You might notice a slight difference but not worth it unless its a show car IMO

cf hatch w/ pexiglass or lexan, whatever it is will save alot of weight. Glass is heavy. I think it's worth it.

Until it get all scratched up and you can't see a thing. Depend on how long you want to keep it and whether you garage it.
