cobrabro- it may not be a lot of weight, but when doing weight reduction you aren't going to find one big thing you can take off the car and lose 250-300lbs. Weight reduction is a bunch of little things that add up to alot. Thats why I decided to buy the CF hood, plus, it will look awsome. So I am hoping that with the CF hood, recaro seats, and then when I take out the backseat/spare tire/jack I will be able to loose a good amount.
