My reduction plan started, and finished, with the options list. Base model which deleted the sunroof, Bose stereo, etc. I can't believe that was over five years ago already. Good luck with reducing your cars weight a bit. I agree that your safety is not worth a few pounds. Keep the stock seats and built in side air bags.

Unless you do the whole car in cf, it really won't do much. The hood is alu, so pretty light really. You'd have to redo every panel, etc. Anything else is really cosmetic, unless you get cf shafts, etc.

A lighter battery will do little to nothing for you..
Gut the back seats, race on a gallon of gas, take out spare, lose AC etc etc....
