remove your heater core, vents, blower motor (all under the dash) if you really want remove the dash and just mount a piece of sheet metal to hold your gauges if you really wanna loose weight

 

You can cut all the support out from the hood, as well.

 

Remove the bumper supports, and everything else seems to allready been addressed.

 

seats? one seat is lighter than two

 

The bumper supports like CRxBart mentioned and a fuel cell... you take out your headliner and everything? do the hf's have that seat belt light on the headliner n junk like the si's cuz i think theres a speaker in there somewhere.?.? anyone verify

 

yea it has the light, and its super annoying, basically gut the whole car, if you think you might not need it, research it and then make a decision.

 

How Much do you weigh?

 

you could sand all of the paint off of the outside and the inside of the car. that should be good for a few oz's

im pretty sure you have bumper braces.. sept when you take them off your bumper will not really stay on so you might have to custom make something. but i know the bumper braces weigh a decent amount.

 

you use stock seats? buy a cheap light seat like a sprint or something. They are VERY light, im sure if u wanted to spend more $$ u could get a full carbon seat, my stock LX seat weighed in at 47 lbs, my new speed was less than half.

 

im probably going to get the one out of summit for 35.00 and put a dx pass seat for ithe wife
