Pic's of my weight reduction
Good deal. The pictures are somewhat dated (a few weeks ago I believe) The speakers are out now.
I am trying to offset some of the weight I will be adding (six point roll bar).
I also have swapped the stock rim's w/ MT ET radials setup for a set of 15x3.5 prostars with Moroso DS2's up front and a 15x10 prostar with an ET Drag out back. Removed front swaybar too.
Besides what you can see in the pictures and the wheels and swaybar I think that is going to be the extent of my weight reduction, I might add a set of Kirkey's or something although I don't know how much the savings will be over the stock non leather non power seats I have now.

How did you get the back panels out whre the side speakers are? I was planning on taking my car apart this sunday to remove al the stereo and carpet backing... haven't figured out how those come out yet though.
I can't remember off the top of my head. Let me take a peek at the car tonight after I get home from work and I will get back to you.
From what I can remember it was something like remove the little "clothes hanger" pieces and pull.

The fold down portion of the rear seat is just a nut and bolt on a pivoting little bracket, look towards the bottom rear on each side, it's very simple to remove, The bottom "buckets" are just a single bolt 13mm or 12mm if I remember correctly.
Honestly the interior comes apart very quick and easy just make sure you have a set of torx bits and a decent set of wrenches and sockets.
I have never taken anything but the center console and the seats out of the car and was able to do all that in way under an hour.

Verdad Gallardo Not a single problem or tricky area, everything was very straight forward. The biggest pita was driving around to find a decent torx bit set. 3 hardware stores, finally found what I needed at the third one.
center console, there is a nice write up somewhere about installing a shifter, you can follow that and should have no problems. I believe it's at www.installuniversity.com
