CF driveshaft isn't worth it unless you're planning on putting down some serious horsepower. The G comes with an aluminum shaft, and the weight reduction is negligable. Maybe 3-4 pounds. Granted, yes, this multiplies considerably when it comes to spinning inertia, but unless you're racing the car, this doesn't seem worth the cost.

If you wanted to do any kind of CF replacements, doors and trunk would be the best bets.

Lightweight seats are a good bet, as well. But the easiest way to shed weight in the G is to strip a lot of the sound deadening out.

OP, honestly, if you want a car that's good for weight reduction, but retains the 2+2 attributes, you'd be better off getting a early-90's 300zx...
the oem driveshaft weighs a little over 30lbs and the 2pc steel design sucks for efficiency, a one piece shaft in cf or aluminum weigh half that and make a BIG difference. You should prob check out some more recent reviews.
