I want to lighten my 5th gen up, any tips beside CF hood and rmoving the spare. I want to keep all the seats, AC, Power everything. Thanks

 

wow, maybe your trunk in CF (but painted) also lighter rims, the back seats will make a nice upgrade too, also at your brake units removing the metal protections (useless) hummmm i can't really think so much now (working) ... i'll reply later!

I want to lighten my car, but keep all the heavy stuff! :eh:

Buy some Kirkey racing seats. Lift the carpet and scrape out any noise reducing tar you find. Remove the tow hooks. Remove all the emissions equipment. There is more, depending on how hardcore you want to get.

 

Dump the crusie control, the power steering, and the ac, plus small things like after market exhaust, wheels, remove the sunroof and jsut put in a plate, the noise insalation, the center console, back seats, all the carpet and most interior panels and the trunk panels.
