thank you for sharing! as for the video looks like you definately got the jump but that said you took alot of ground from him!
now when it came to 'behind the drivers seats' did you go under the carpet (where the rear passengers feet would go) and take out the insulation under there? because there is a lot under there to be taken away.

After removing and weighing everything on my old ass scale that idk how accurate it is...
Seatbelt bar 8lbs
Trunk insulation 5
Black plastic where trunk latches into 2
Sub -19
Amp 8
Rear floormats 5
Rear mat 10ish?
Seats 35 lbs
26 - spare tire
Just dropped about 125 lbs!
Only thing im keeping back there is the jack (3-4 lbs) which i will need to secure somehow so the rattling doesnt kill me, a can of fixaflat and bam!
Duralast 47-90 battery 35ishlbs...
So when i do my cf trunk and if i do the 3.5 lb battery i got another 55ish lbs on the way!

How's it feel with about 125lb off of it?
Also, when I first pulled the bottom part of the back seat out I found about 2lbs of change so that was a win win :P

I wont know how it feels lighter till spring when my clutch and everything is fixed.
Im working on losing 15-20 lbs myself this winter actually. Car is a good motivator
Im gonna see how bad it sounds first; figure since there is nothing to rattle around it might not be too bad
And also pulled out my door panel to find there really isnt much to get rid of and the foam is not heavy at all so no weight loss there.
