Whats your target goal for weight savings out of curiosity? Or you just seeing what you can get? Would be cool to get it under 3k lbs, but unlikely im guessing.

Here is a quick guide to weights and weight savings:

Stock Driveshaft 41.2 lbs
Front Doors (stock) 62 lbs
Rear Doors (stock) 48 lbs
Front Bumper 19lbs
Rear Bumper 32.5 lbs
Fog Lights & Bezels (both) 3.1 lbs
AC (condenser, compressor, lines) 21 lbs
HID Lights (each) 8.2 lbs
Non HID Lights (each) 6.2 lbs
Stock Radiator (with hose) 9 lbs
Stock radiator fans with shroud 10 lbs
Sub Box 16 lbs
Drivers Knee Air-bag 3.6 lbs
Trunk Carpet & Panels 9.3 lbs
Stock Hood 19.7 lbs
Stock trunk (bare, no wing or lights) 23.5 lbs
Stock High wing 13.4 lbs
Trunk Struts (both) .8 lbs
Battery Tray 2.5 lbs
Curtain air bags (both) 6.8 lbs
Headliner 4.8
Stock Steering wheel with air-bag 6.3 lbs
Rear Safety belts & accessories 11.7 lbs
Stock Roof 12.4 lbs
Sound deadening (in trunk and cabin floor) 9 lbs
Rear tow hooks (both of them) 13lbs

I'll keep updating this list. Now of course we put a lot of the stuff back into the car (hey, it needs doors!) but so far looks like we'll pull out around 300lbs from the factory weight. Goal is to have the car weight 3000lbs but I think it will be closer to 3100lbs. Ivan is doing an awesome job!
