weight reduction and looks are usually on opposite ends of the spectrum. Anything you can do without having a significant impact on looks will be minimal at best.

Not entirely true. The Lotus Elise has one of the most stripped down interiors you can find in a production car that weighs less then 2,000 lbs. Its a great example of making function over form look good.

Well what I'm saying is you can reduce weight and do it tastefully. Ripping out the entirety of the interior an leaving a shell of the dash, one seat, and a steering wheel obviously will look like hell in a daily driver. But taking some of the cues from higher end cars can help you reduce weight without looking like total ass.

slip a hydroshield on there, or even a small filter and this has got to be the stealthiest Cold air intake ever! good job!

Side inserts on wings.
I need help finding a part. I would like to put Carbon Fiber side inserts on the stock SS/SC spoiler. as seen in the picture below. The picture below is my car. I had them put on before. Someone has swiped them :( now I cannot find the part. I do not need the wing or the mounts, just the inserts on the side of the mounts. Thanks for your help.
