Default Weight reduction.

Right now, I'm weighting in @ 2,953lbs, I need to get to around 2,500 or lower...I need some weight reduction tips, I will be removing everything from the interior(including interior lights and wires, everything but 2 5 point harness racing seats.) Anything else I should try?
