hey man weight is weight

anything off the front will help traction

headlight is a couple pounds, not ounces.

if u have a GT take the whole fog light assembly out of there too

Not the fog light assembly I can understand because from what I have heard they weigh quite a few lbs.... but a headlight? Why even bother? [&:] 2lbs will not make a difference in traction lol
