RE: weight decrease
everyone wanted me to get the rest of the gt ground effects but I think the lx looks so much cleaner. and I modified my front bumper so it will look different then anyone elses I cut t bar out and glassed in the sides. Kind of like a grill delete for a fox.

Well, I was thinking about ditching the wiper but than I was thinking... if its ever nice and Im far away from home and I get caught in a storm or something where I dont have a choice but to drive in the rain; its going to be bad enough with the wipers let alone without them lol. And I want it to look as "streetable" as possible (full interior, back seats, etc.)

I have a 88 mustang and i want to know the most effective way i could decrease the weight of my fox body... keep in mind i like to keep it water tight, hold in the heat, and i drive it everyday probably 40 miles... and what would be the most effective tire on my 16x8 pony's... i have 245's on there but i am about to replace them and don't know how big or what can fit... And if anyone knows a cheap way to find a fog lamp bracket... i need one there only 90 bucks everywhere so i need one for cheap too..

RE: weight decrease
The Poly seats like Summit sells can be on aluminum brackets like I make and with the fabric on them they are 17# each. Stardard seats have got to be 50-60# each......
Ditching the power R/P will save another 30#
50# for aluminum heads......
Just what I know.
BTW, all the HVAC gear will be more like 40#......
