Default gutted interior

I was thinking about gutting my interior to lose a few pounds I mean everything the dash and dash support. I have a guy who can make me an aluminum dash. But I don't want the car looking like crap so if someone can show there pics of a gutted interior it would be great. Or atleast give me some ideas. This is going to be a track only car. With maybe some street use.

Mini tub it and take out the extra brackets, door bars and the regular weight reductions, abs, power steering, heater, a/c, bumpers and things like that first. How much weight are you trying to drop?

The dash isn't heavy at all when its gutted. 7-8lbs. So you would most likely gain weight with an aluminum dash. But I sure would like to see it done.

You take out all the interior its going to look like crap. lol thats why you take out what you cant see to lighten it so it doesn't look like it was stolen and stripped.
