The real weight savings would be not having it at all. My windows are limo tinted in the back... it'd be useless to a lot of people.

yeah.. i emailed them about the speaker thing... i would like one.. my car is geting more show every day... overlays dont save weight, but they DO fit perfect.. and for interior, i believe them to be the ONLY way to go.. never seen interior pieces that werent overlay that fit correctly.. and i dont think its kazells... he takes TONS of pricde in time and sweat he puts into things, he wouldve had started the bidding around $300 i believe.. also, didnt he cut back on making stuff due to family troubles (no disrespect kazell, you are AWESOME, didnt mean to put your bussiness out theree)

maybe, but i dont think the weight of the overlay is significant enough to make a speed difference...

watch the ounces and the pounds will take care of them selfs..... So Every oz counts, because if you remove enough from vairious places you'll eventually be taking off the pounds. Yes, By its self it wont make much of a difference, but added together with other parts that save weight, then combined they make a difference.

Dont worry, I saw the thread. But Zzyzx was taking the words right out of my mouth.

Yeah. No weight savings there. No speaker holes, either, as previously mentioned.

If you're going for just show it might be ok. I dunno. I wouldn't get it.

No point in carbon fiber. Unless it's just for looks or some weight reduction on parts of a car.

if youre not gonna have speaker holes you might as well eliminate the rear speakers and flatten out the deck for a cleaner look, two lumps that don't serve a purpose isn't show, its just a waste of space...oh and that would also be your ounce weight reduction.
