AC, Airbag, and all the other little **** that goes with those 2, bumper supports, lightweight wheels, Hell, you could ditch the heat to since you said anything, all the ducting, relocate the battery to the back and put a light weight one in, light weight fuel cell, The carpet and insulation and put some lightweight carpet in, lightweight racing seats, lightweight suspension pieces instead of stock heavy stuff, radio, speakers and wires, the list goes on and on, it just depends on how far you want to take it.

Hey, you said anything.

yeah if you're seroius enough there are many many things you can do to make it lighter. I've heard people have had good results from relocating the battery(how hard that is i don't know) and also from removing carpet

I removed the stock carpet,which was @ 40lbs....and replaced iy with ACC carpet that was maybe 4-6lbs.

Also stock seats are HEAVY.....
