all depends on how serious you are...with an accord, I wouldn't do too much....
expensive:
<ul>[*]CF hood, CF fenders, CF trunk lid (if they make them for accords?)[*]CF sunroof replacement[*]lightweight wheels and lugs[*]lightweight shocks/springs[*]flexan windows (again, if accord has them)[*]lightweight racing seats[*]lightweight battery[/list]
inexpensive (but remember, you are in an accord here...):
<ul>[*]remove spare tire, jack, etc.[*]remove A/C, P/S[*]remove all interior<all rear, pass seat, headliner, etc...[*]umm, remove whatever you don't need...[/list]
anyway, pick and choose from that list...some are practicle, and failry inexpensive, many are not. All depends what you are after man...gl to ya.

u can take out the sound detiner but taht will only give u about 15-20lbs. But the road noise will be louder.
