cf hood = -20 to 30lbs
backseats = -15-20lbs
spare tire and jack = -30lbs
lighter wheels (every 1lbs x 3 "unsprung weight)

it can be about -150lbs depends on how light your wheels are

losing 20 to 30 pounds on a cf hood??? you've got to be joking me, you are a delusional idiot. 20lbs is alot of weight to lose on any cf hood. have you looked at the EP's hood latley???

the EP's hood is pretty small and light to begin with. i doubt you can expect to drop 20 lbs simply by replacing it with a CF hood.

Backseat - Approx - 80lbs, I've weighed mine, dont try to fight it

Hood - 10-15 lbs saved with CF hood, I had Mugen CF hood on my car and it was definately a lot lighter, it felt like I could throw it like a frisbee

Wheels - EP wheels are 20lbs a piece, get some wheels, say about 13 lbs a piece, so 28 lbs, there but b/c its unsprung wieght or whatever that is, it translates into losing 86 lbs if it were in the car

Spare tire/jack - about 30 lbs
