Unless you yank the AC, power steering, radio, speakers, scrape what little sound dampening material there is, etc, you are stuck to what you listed.
I would rather have crash beams then save a few pounds.
The trunk carpet is like 2 lbs maybe
If you want to make a bigger difference, try to shave some weight from the wheels where it matters more.

you can peel off all the sound deadening stuff under the carpet and in the trunck....its a PITA but it actually weights alot for how thin it is...

You added weight with your hood. Put a carbon trunk on it and that is a few pounds. You could also pull stuff like sway bars and strut tower bars. Throw some coilovers on it and that is some more weight off of the car. And like other people said some two peice rotors and light weight weels will take more weight off and be more effective than non-rotating weight.

imo put you're crash beams back on..or dont. then take out youre whole backseat because why have it in? ....it sounds like you are picky about weight so eliminate the possibility of having passengers in the back, and save weight while doing it.
will taking crash beams out void or hinder insurance claims?
