as thin as the front fenders are on these cars, i don't think you will see a whole lot of weight shed from this mod, especially for the money. if i were you, i would put in an aftermarket carpet and rip out the sound deadening material. i did this and i have true duals dumping under the car. it's a bit loud when i step on it, but very tolerable while cruising. i saved close to 75+lbs with just that. that factory carpet is HEAVY. also check out a fiberglass hood. have you put lighter wheels, aluminum ds, lighter torque converter. look for rotational weight to save.

Wanna lose REAL weight? Get a lexan hatch-glass replacement... that would prolly knock a good 100lbs off the car!

go to the fabrication board and look for a thread title "My late night quest for 2800lbs." it's like 2-3 pages long and has all kinds of light weight ideas.
