Default Weight reduction HELP please.

I want to remove my window washer fluid (9,000 miles on the car and it still has the original fluid in it). I want to remove that and any other plastic that doesn't really serve a purpose, plus what type of saw should I use to widen the ram air outlet on the inside of the hood. Thanks

Removing the washer fluid reservoir is prety straightforward. Might be a little easier with the front bumper off but it's not impossible to do while leaving it on.

As far as random plastic goes...

--ASR motor shroud (for LT1 cars)
--HVAC/ventilation ducts
--Explore rear wheelwells (pull away carpet on t-top well along with driver's side wheel well for a nice surprise)
--Swiss cheese the plastic on the front and rear mumper supports


There's probably a couple more but I can't think of 'em now.

Dremel tools work fine for stuff like that. They're like a modern day swiss army knife.
