Installed some JDM tail lights. Expecting a 50hp gain from these bad boys. Those scoobaru and honda kids better watch out.

finally did the sound deadener removal. Also pulled all the stuff from the underside of the carpet. I didn't take an after picture of the floor after I cleaned it up with 3M adhesive remover, but you get the idea.









oh and I couldn't find dry ice anywhere. People kept saying "oh, go to store X and they have it there I know for a fact" so I would go there and they didn't have any, and they would tell me "go over here to store X, I know they have it" and finally I said screw it. Hit it with a rubber dead blow hammer shown in the pics and it popped right off. I guess it helps that its actually 40*F outside

Any idea how much weight you saved by doing this?

I don't own a scale so I can't say, but the threads about weight savings say the tar sound deadener is 12lbs. I don't know how much the metal plates and crap under the carpet weighs though. My car is already loud which is why I did this mod, but hopefully it's not too unbearable now. I already get home from a cruise before with ringing ears haha

Finally swapped the track pads/rotors out for my street pads/rotors so I'm not embarrassed to drive it anymore. Tire rotation and oil change done also.

Installed depo headlights. First time ever removing my bumper. Wasn't as hard as I thought.
