If you read the post.. You would have read that I removed all air bags except drivers side. And passenger side air bag, and curtain airbags were about 10lbs. I have no sunroof and I do plan on switching oem head unit with a lighter single disc head unit. Thanks for you input.
According to this post there 37lbs.

If you removed your seat, that means you also disabled your driver side curtian airbag. Point was, if you are willing to illegaly remove your airbags and jeopardize passengers lives to shave 5 pounds, why not just remove whole interior and shave acouple hundred pounds?
Using OEM mounting with driver side slightly fabed up.
Huh? You are claiming you dropped 100lbs with just seats and airbags, but whole interior is only 20-40lbs?
Whole interior is close to 250lbs kid. Many have done full track strip on the coupe, comes in right about 200lbs and switching to lexan total came to about 260lbs.

My point being. Airbags should only ever be removed if it is a track only dedicated car. You would save more weight by simply driving 15 miles, than you saved by pulling an airbag.
(Gallon of gas is 6.2lbs, airbag is 5lbs)

Interior that I was referring to was the headliner, carpet rear seats door cards and plastic trim. Now I know the rear seats can't be more then 10-20lbs, the headliner maybe 5-10 lbs and carpet another 10-15 lbs. as for the rest I don't really care. Thanks again for your positive input "kid".
Point taken thanks!
Someone needs to calm down!! Kid?? Really?

Pulling airbags to shave 5 pounds on a street driven car is as stupid as it is illegal kid. Only a fool would pull an airbag to shave 5lbs, then refuse to pull headliner to shave 5-10lbs.
Great yet again thanks for your 2 cents! I can only imagine how much fun it is to browse the forums to see where one can be supportive and positive. Hats off to you pric&!
