so whats your point?

*updated*

FYI- most of this will render your car ILLEGAL on the street in most states

a) no interior plastic trim
b) no rear seats, get ltw racing front seats (Recaro, Sparco, Bride)
- B2) remove OEM seat belts, CORRECTLY install 4 point harnesses
c) cut out the spare tire well, replace with flat panel
d) no jack/spare
e) remove door glass/motor/rails
- E2) remove door cards, replace with CF &/or FG panel
f) remove rear side windows, replace w/lexan
g) remove sunroof (30lbs) (replace with ltw composite plug)
h) remove heater/ac unit from under the dash
i) remove sound deadening matterial from the floor
j) F/G hood
- J2) CF hatch
k) LTW battery
L) Fiberglass doors *eeps*
m) remove airbags
n) remove power steering
o) remove AC compressor, AC "radiator" thingy up front
p) remove crash bar (WARNING removal of this item can cause SEVERE damage
q) remove gas tank + replace with racing fuel cell
r) have a Titanium exhaust made
s) LTW lugnuts
t) LTW 16"/17" wheels


FYI- fiberglass fenders/bumpers readily available are pretty much the same weight as OEM pieces

You forgot to add the part about letting rust eat holes out of your exterior n then just throwing vinyl graphics over it so you don't see the holes lol...... but really, yeah, there's tons of stuff you can do and playr158 definitely has the most constructive/organized list.... it all depends on how far you're willing to go n how much street driving you're trying to limit yourself from being able to legally do
