Default How much does a 98 civic roof weight?

My ride is a 98 Civic DX Hatchback. Am already in the process of lightening up the vehicle by deleting a lot of parts that i deemed are unnecessary. So far, i've managed to delete the power steering, A/C, both driver and passenger airbags, and the backseats along with all of its components. I'm looking forward to do some more weight savings by adding replacing some of the oem parts with lighter carbon fiber parts. My question is that, how much weight would i be able to save by replacing parts such as; the hood, roof, trunk, and lighter aftermarket battery. If you guys have any more suggestions on more weight saving tip just let me know.

The roof skin isn't very heavy. I would remove bumper supports, sound deadening, also 98-00 has a heavy side impact beam under where your knees are if your sitting in the rear seat, that piece alone is like 30-40lbs. Also I believe there is about a 1/2 lb plate in the glove box if you disassemble it you will see it. Also rear seatbelts are about 6lbs a piece. Spare tire obviously. You can also cut the hood webbing on the underside, the hood will loose rigidity but it will drop about 10lbs give or take
