2. Definitely remove the rear seat belts.
3. Pretty big project to swap to manual windows. Not a significant weight savings, but a very high "cool" factor in my opinion.
4. Euro crush tubes, rennline sells them and they are 15% off today.
5. Lose the power mirrors. Keep the base to cover the holes and do the vitaloni top mount mod that is pretty popular and easy.
How about a pic?

Thanks for the feedback. The car is completely disassembled on the interior right now so I would have no issues losing the rear seats in their entirety. Now I am considering losing the rear speakers --- however, want to have a nice clean transition in back from carpet to the rear shelf or something else. Not sure how to tackle that.
Interesting on the manual windows. Looking from outside in really doesn't appear that crazy of a project? but, perhaps it is... I just want to lose as much unnecessary wiring as possible...
Thanks on the tip for the euro crush tubes. I am curious if there is any weight saving to them. Also, curious if the factory "shocks" cab be disassembled? I am doing a full pan off and these things appear like they've had several "oversprays" on them. I've powder coated just about everything that I didn't paint! and, with that said it would be good to perhaps just refinish the original ones if that's possible. Has anyone ever disassembled them?
Thanks on the mirror tip. Haven't heard of that. Will definitely take a look.
Keep the thoughts flowing, guys! Thanks a bunch!
Paul
