[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 130829, member: 9209"] Pretty much any aftermarket "racing" seat is lighter than stock. By how much, it depends on a seat to seat difference. As long as you remove the power rails of the seat, you will be saving some decent weight. Bumber supports are also good for about 30 pounds each, but I would not touch those, especially the rear one. I was hit pretty good in the back once, and the tank was leaking gas. If the bumper support was removed, I'd probably be a lot worse off. Do you have offroad midpipe yet? That's a pretty good saving of weight, when you drop those 4 cats. I was thinking of changing hood and trunk lid to carbon fiber pieces, but I'm still looking for the weight on stock pieces, and I've got a feeling that the price to pay will not justify the weight loss. Stock pieces feel light already. Some guy on a vert in this forum removed a whole bunch of weight somewhere on his car. I think the thread is in this forum, look for something along the lines of "weighted my vert" Edit: here is a link [url]http://www.sn95forums.com/forum/index.php?topic=9675.0[/url] [/QUOTE]
