Default I think someone posted 15kg = 33lbs...insanely heavy.

I'm trying to get rid of as much excess as I can w/o going too far. Wheels, CF hood and possibly roof panel. I'll keep the OEM's for a while incase someone offers me an insane amount for a white one :-).

Default you can save a lot of weight by not getting the sun roof and heated seats,

perhaps get a lightweight battery, and full Ti exhaust (when they make one). Kenesis wheels! I would stay away from CF hoods, never seen one that fits right.

Default that's about a 1.3% overall weight reduction for about $5K....no thanks.

unless it's going to be a competition car, it's not worth it, IMHO.
