It may have been mentioned before, and I know no one has posted in here in a while but..... I am running space saver wheels with M&H 26/4.5-17 tires at the track. They wiegh 26.2 lbs a piece!!! Thats as light as most racing wheels! Just not as pretty... I have removed the black paint, and the bare (unpolished) alum. looks ok. PM me if you would like pictures. I have a total of $370 in the setup. $50 for the extra Cobra spare, and $320 in brand new bias ply front runners...

any crash beams in the doors that can be cut out?
Lots of good info in Post 1!!!!! 
Probably not the thing to use as weight savings. I know people do, but doesn't seem like the best idea if you drive it on the street.
Yup, take the interior door panel off and you will see them in the bottom. Only a few pounds a piece though. I think 8# total IIRC.
what about front and rear bumper supports? i know people have had issues with the front bumper collapsing without it on on some other mustangs. but can we even remove ours with the heat exchanger there?
Yes you can remove the front bumper support and retain the HE.
Front bumper weighs like 17#, rear is over 30#.
anyone have any issues with the front collapsing at the track at high speed?
i did this on my evo and its and easy way to save unseen weight. they dont do anything i heard on crashes over like 20mph anyway.
Anyone run these ? Deff mite try the front but it's still a street car .
Lots of people run them including me.
Nice list but many of these weights are not accurate with the 03/04' Cobra.
This was going to be my next modification before I sold the Cobra. Especially the front support which takes weight off the extreme front end of the car for help with weight transfer.
I'm deff getting the front soon ! I agree the front is way too heavy . I like Lil weight in rear ESP for hooking on the street .
Having my battery and 6 gallon IC tank in the trunk definitely helps with traction.
Thought bout the battery but stil like having a truck for road trips and car shows
More boost... Lol
ive just recently got into shaving weight off of my cobra. im only running 1 seat which is a race seat and also have the rear speaker/amp setup out. i have a k member on the way and im planning on doing an abs delete and both front and rear bumper supports.
here are the ones im looking at

Where do you plan on mounting your heat exchanger with that bar?
The razors edge ones look a Lil better to me . At least utilize stock heat exchanger mounts
