Not sure if you have done it or not but remove the spare tire, the stuff under the back carpet not sure what it's called, delete a/c if you live in an area where it's not that hot or you know you won't use it. Those are some suggestions.

I guess a Coupe could be a Notch

fenders

Yeah but the only thing is I'm sure you needed to make a custom H-pipe to make the headers work.

edit: ignore that link i just noticed that they're flared fenders
