RE: Lighten Sn95
pull the bumper covers off and then toss the real bumpers in the trash know one will ever notice.
then you can cut the crash bars out of the doors that is worth about 30 or 40 lbs. pull all the sound deadening out of the car toss the carpet in the trash go to the parts store buy some of that cheap carpet and a can of spray adhesive. doesn't look as good but you will save some serious wieght of coarse seats electric seats are really heavy.
