weight reduction

I have been toying with the idea of weight reduction. I want to keep the seats and radio creature comforts. I was looking into removing bumper supports and poss other stuff. will removing bumper supports cause the bumper to deform? any other stuff that I can get rid of that isn't really seen?

abs, air bags, cruise control, sound deadening material in carpet, front sway bar, spare tire/jack, the bumper supports like you said (just dont let anyone sit on them) are a few things that pop to my mind off the bat..

Rule of thumb, every 100lbs you lighten the car is 1/1oth of ET improvement in the 1/4 mile.
